    Brisket did not take smoke???

    what about the pink smoke ring, was there one? i've found on a few brisket's i've done that there is no smoke ring and the meat does have great tenderness and flavor, but lacks smoke flavor - despite cooking with adequate amounts of wood. i think it has a lot to do with letting too much smoke...
