        In order to get a smoke ring, you need the chemicals/particulates that are in smoke. With gas or electric as a heat source, you get none at all. With charcoal briquettes, you might get a little, but not much. With lump, you get a little more. With lump and wood you get more still. With just wood you get the most. With each, there an increase in smoke ring depth, as there is an increase in the amount and concentration of the chemicals and particulates needed for the necessary reaction.
        Fundamentals matter.

          LOL---You just reminded me of one of my favorite TV programs from back when I was a wee kid-----"Mr Wizard". Yes we had TV in the 50s, but it was Black & White!!!

              Heck, I remember still having only 4 channels, but they WERE in colour! One was a Canadian channel, which is why I can't spell "colour" anymore... lol

                  Fudge..111? Why do you have to light anything to cook??

                  But you will not get a smoke ring.

                  You will cooking with propane. The combustion reaction produces NO. You may not get as deep of one..because likely you'll have trouble keeping the temps down..and once the meat surface hits aboot 140, it's done. Just aboot the time you can insert yer temp probe BTW.

                  On edit... but I am not affiliated with Amazing ribs..so... that that with a grain of... Oh I dunno..pick your poison

                    Another thing to keep in mind, the colder the meat is when you put it in the smoker, the more of a smoke ring you'll get. At least that's how it is in Jersey.

                      A collorary of the protiens denaturing at the 140 mark. Altho..don't toss on a frozen brisket. Just saying

                      You MAY have a danger zone issue if you cook low and the meat is semi-solid tho.

                        Roger that, however I didn't mean frozen or semi-frozen, I meant right outta the fridge as opposed to room temp.

                            Delaware is pretty much the same...

                            I rarely get my protein to "room" temp anymore before hitting the grates... and yes, there's always a nice smoke ring. The smoke ring is mostly a visual effect, little to do with the final taste. The bark however... that's a must!

                              The "smoke ring" we see in our meat has nothing to do with smoke. It's chemistry that does it. The myoglobin in the meat will, when it comes into contact with Nitriteacid (HNO2) formed by Nitrogendioxid (NO2) from the fire and Hydrogen from the surface of the meat, turn red. But if the temperature is to high, fluids from the roast will wash out the myoglobin and the colour goes.

                                And while I don't have a picture, I have a friend who has obtained a small smoke ring in an electric MB. I suspect if he uses small chips and runs it hot enough, he's getting a bit of combustion.

                                For me, personally, I have used sticks, charcoal, electric and propane. I guess the only thing I haven't smoked with is pellets. The stick and propane are so close in flavor as to be indistinguishable in a side by side. The electric fell short, IMO.
                                Sorry - we're talking about actual smoke rings here, not a little red around the edges from the wood chips....

                                But if it works for you, it's all good!
