Smoke rings can be acheived 2 ways, one by using tender quick, the other is a natural chemical recation caused by smoke.


we use hickory.

This will give a couple of theories. Experts disagree about how it works (some do claim osmosis) but all agree that it does, in fact, provide superior results.

Thank you, again, "Rainee", for the info on smoking prime rib - we'll give hickory a try (I already know how great hickory works with beef - from steaks, to hamburgers on the grille)...

And thank you "Jennyema" for the neat link on brining.

Aren't we glad we aren't vegetarians?

Before you go dunking that expensive hunk of cow into a bucket of salt water you might want to watch Alton Brown's episode "Family Roast", and check out the recipe. You can check out the schedules for when it will be show here:

You could easily adapt the theory to smoker cooking.
