I was having trouble obtaining a smoke ring lately or even tasting smoked at all, wife confirmed it was tasting like it had come from the oven

After asking for some advice here and scouring these forums for information, SUCCESS!

I decided to put in a drip pan to stop the drippings on the coals, used about 30 percent more wood and larger chunks, throwing on a small split straight on top of the coals, before the meat goes on i spritzed it with apple cider vinegar

Heres the pork loin i did last night


It tasted phenomenal! Im only a new member but this forum is such a wonderful place and an absolute wealth of information.. thankyou to everyone for making this place what it is
 
Dry brining helps too (applying rub, then wrapping tightly in plastic wrap in fridge for 24 hours).  I usually never do that, but just recently I decided to dry brine a tri tip.  On a fast grill/smoke, 48 minutes total, I actually had a nice smoke ring.  I've never seen that before on a tri tip!
 
Practice makes perfect! We all have our own ways of learning and figuring it out for ourselves in addition to tips/advice! Your pork loin looks delicious! I have one ready to smoke in about a week and a half from now and I can't wait. You are right ~ this forum is awesome and filled with a lot of generous and knowledgable folks ready to dispense information.
