If you look at when I joined you might not believe the title, but today I really did get my first smoke ring. I've been using my home built refrig smoker with hot plates for a while now, and always had amazing tasting flavor but never a smoke ring. Last weekend I added a firebox (used an old Char Griller) to my rig and tested her out today. I need to do a little tweakng still to get a perfect temp, but WOW what a difference. Smoked a single rack of pork ribs and a pan of beans. Both came out with amazing flavor and the ribs were literally fall off the bone. After cutting I noticed something different than I had not seen before - the smoke ring - in cuts with the larger portion of meat. I was so excited, I didn't have time to grab the camera, I grabbed my iPone instead. Here is what almost made me cry, and my wife make fun of me for at least 5 minutes - until she tasted them.
