How do you cheat a smoke ring?

Why is smoke ring pink?
As we smoke our chicken at a lower temperature for a much longer period of time, the myoglobin doesn't fully break down. This creates a pink tinge to the meat – the same reaction that causes the smoke ring you see on our brisket and ribs. This doesn't mean it's undercooked, just that it's been smoked.
Is smoking meat healthier than grilling?
Harmful substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs) form when meat is cooked at very high temperatures. Though grilled and pan-fried meats can also lead to the formation of PAHs and HCAs, studies show that smoking leads to higher levels of contamination.
Why is my brisket pink?
Today's corned beef is now brined or cured using a salt water or sodium nitrite mixture, which fixes the pigment in the meat and causes it to be pink in color. That's why corned beef remains pink after cooking, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Does smoked meat stay pink?

How can I make my meat taste more smoked?
Don't wrap your meat So if you're looking to add more smoke flavor to your food, then don't wrap it in foil! Instead, try using a smoker box or even just a piece of aluminum foil folded into a little pouch. This will allow the smoke to reach your food and add a delicious smoky flavor.
Why does smoke make meat pink?

Does a smoke ring matter?
Nope! That's the funny thing about it: A great smoke ring looks amazing, but it's not the part that tastes smoky. That's caused by flavor compounds penetrating the meat, and it does this throughout the cut.
What is the red ring around smoked meat?
myoglobinThe smoke ring is already within the meat in the form of myoglobin. It's the protein that makes raw meat red or pink. As the meat cooks, myoglobin turns brown, but if enough nitric oxide (NO) from the wood smoke condenses on your meat, it will bind with the still-red myoglobin and allow it to hold onto its color.
Do pellet smokers give a smoke ring?
Thus, you can get a great smoke ring from a wood-burning pellet grill but not from a gas grill (unless you throw some wood pellets in there). A smoke ring is formed when myoglobin bonds with either CO or NO. But those molecules can only penetrate so deep into the meat.
How are smoke rings made?
A smoke ring is commonly formed when a puff of smoke is suddenly injected into clear air, especially through a narrow opening. The outer parts of the puff are slowed by the still air (or by edges of the opening) relative to the central part, imparting it the characteristic poloidal flow pattern.
