You basically just cured that. I'm hoping you used a reasonably safe amount of Tenderquick.

I find it funny that you come here asking if its a good smoke ring or not, people tell you its not really a smoke ring but a change in color due to using a curing salt but you continue to press us that this is how your family likes it and the only way you can get a good "smoke ring".
1. If this is how your family likes it, rock on and keep doing it, no problems there. 2. Dont come here and ask a bunch of BBQ heads if its "Good" or not when you already know its "good for your family" so who cares. 3. Most people would not call that a "good" smoke ring because its not a smoke ring at all its a ring from using curing salt. Side note you should be extra careful using that salt because to much of a curing salt is bad news. https://barbecuebible.com/2014/08/26...-curing-salts/ "But please note: Nitrates and nitrites can be toxic when not used at recommended levels. That’s why most curing salts are tinted pink—to make sure you don’t confuse them with ordinary table salt. (Do not confuse them with Himalayan pink salt, either.)" so please be careful for your and your family's sake |

Thank you for the feedback I know what i was asking and was enlighten I do not take it personal as you may think i have or seem to have. As my other post i was just stating what i used and such with equipment. As stated i have done many different methods from here and other places. But nothing has produce what we liked. I have tried with out the salt and such some say its not brisket it more like corn beef. One thing that has stand true from my point of view is that people quick to judge but not help

Have you ever considered getting yourself a bbq guru or similar? Will do wonders for controlling the temp.

Not familiar with the Hondo. Is it rather like a OK Joe Longhorn, or maybe more like an Old Country Brazos?

The hondo is like the silver smoker but has the flat top on the firebox and older versions had beefier steel.
I cooked on a hondo for many years. Use lump as a base coal bed and beer can sized splits for smoke and wood flavor. You will absolutely get a smoke ring. Brining Using tq you can just soak it and make pastrami or corned beef. You have a good smoker to make true BBQ brisket. My first few competitions were on a hondo. If you look in the bandera101 document in the forum, I have so e mods you can make to the hondo to improve performance and reduce babysitting it.

Whatever floats yer boat....I never understood why so many chase and get so side tracked with the smoke ring....even if it is manipulated. Taste is paramount. To each their own.

Well to be fair, this type of ring, absolutely affects flavor. OP should have asked "is this pink ring good"?

It’s cool bro. Be safe with the TQ like folks said but otherwise if you guys like it that’s all that matters. We’re all blessed to live in an age where we can experiment with food.

Alright well you asked for it.. No.. if you put this in front of my face.. I would refuse to eat it.. I don't think it looks appetizing at all. I have cooked plenty of briskets.. and I cook with with a wood fire I don't get smoke rings remotely like this. I am siding with the folks that its artificial and this post is pretty much pointless. That said.. Should be careful with the amount of tender quick you use as others suggested. Family likes it.. keep cooking it.. but no need to bait BBQ heads here on the form like you have..

It is...but trying to pass something off that it isn't, just makes you look bad....just sayin'. WAY too many super educated folks here been doin' this a long time. Of course it looks manipulated, OP shoulda known better than try to pass that off as "un-doctored".
