Ceramics burn such little fuel that I feel that the fire is smoldering along and thus not providing very good smoke for cooking meat. Just my opinion.
I have never had someone say that the meat that I cooked didn't soak up smoke from my Primo. In addition, the efficient burning of charcoal in the ceramics causes the meat to stay moister

Burt you have any photos of your Q
And I agree w you, I have a primo that I quit smoking on. Offset all the way

Looks like bark to me, and it was smokey, and i used a water pan because i got the Primo XL 10+ years ago as you can separate the firebox and keep the lump to the side, no need for a deflecter.

Maybe not the most smoke, but I would say this is an adequate smokering, no?

That OK Joe is a POS, bought one and after trying it a few times I gave it to the first person willing to haul it off.
To thin, poor sealing, started to rust after one month

Ah, yeah, I believe any person who is familiar with BBQ and does not have an axe to grind would say that is a very nice smoke ring.

That's a very impressive smoke ring if that's from an Egg.
And to those saying you get good smoke flavor from a ceramic, more power to you I really wish I could nail it down but for whatever reason I struggle imparting that smoke flavor when I use mine.

Thank you.

It's from a primo. I have to mix the wood chunks into the lump from the bottom up. If I just throw it on top it will lack smoke.
Now, truth be told I grill steaks about 10X more than I smoke ribs.

Smoke ring doesn't equate to good bbq. Your bark is meh

I've heard it all now.

Looks like all that Zima drinking produces a better bark and smoke ring than Janky's

Do you think air flow dries out meat?
Posted on 8/15/17 at 3:51 pm to Spaulding Smails
Well one guy has a pic of baby backs and the other a brisket. Brisket bark if done with kosher salt and cracked pepper (central TX style) will have a darker and heavier bark than any rib. Besides Burt left to much fat on his brisket before smoking didnt get a good smoke ring.

Damn. This thread was 2 pages this morning. Ole Burt is pushing it through huh?
Posted on 8/15/17 at 3:58 pm to golfntiger32
Yea, acting like one guy can smoke and the other can't based off those pics tells you all you need to know about Burt and his buddy.

Not at all. Over or under cooking bbq leads to dry meat.

Every man is ultimately judged by his brisket
But my ribs have much thicker, darker bark than what he posted. And ribs tend to have thicker smoke ring than a brisket.

Only left a quarter inch on the cap.
Smoke ring doesn't define good bbq. In fact you don't even need smoke for a smoke ring. The size of the smoke ring has no bearing on the actual amount of smoke flavor you get in a bite of brisket.
If I wanted a good smoke ring, i would brine it, freeze it and add less rub to increase exposure to nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. You can even fake a smoke ring by using curing salts.
See how thin franklin's rings are yet his brisket is the best.
