thanks for all the comments. I wasn't really worried about it (taste is what's important), just curious.
only using SPOG or MSS (Montreal Steak Seasoning), I get a smoke ring.
If it taste good and you get the flavor you want why worry about it. :D

LOL---A tube of the right color Lipstick will accomplish the same thing.
Or a Pink Food Safe Magic Marker.

Great point, and given all the pork smokes describe in these forums, I guess the old proverbial expression applies (click for an explanation, if you haven't heard the expression):LOL---A tube of the right color Lipstick will accomplish the same thing.
bassthumbs32 thanks for the like its appreciated.

Funny how people are misinformed about things. I don't even call it a "smoke ring" any longer, I refer it more correctly as the "combustion ring" because that's what forms it, the combustion gases from your cooker. No taste difference, just a little more sex appeal I guess. I still see; however, so-called "pit masters" on You Tube videos going on and on about the smoke ring, whatever.
By the way, nice comparison on the tri-tips noboundaries.
