"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Bit of a trick question you had there, but is this because the 'smoke ring' actually isn't from the smoke but from a chemical reaction with the 'charcoal' (which comes from wood like smoke of course) fumes?

So how much 'smoke' flavour do you think these had?

That's right, the smoke-ring is created from combustion gases, doesn't matter whether it's from a bed of charcoal or hardwood embers - no smoke required! :cheers2:

They didn't have any smoke flavour. Don't get me wrong you can tell they were cooked over coals and not in an oven but they weren't smokey in the slightest. Some people say the nitrite ring does contribute to flavour and others say it doesn't. Those that say it does compare it to meats cured with nitrites or without claiming one version tastes slightly different than the other. I'm not sold on that but I don't really care either way, I've cured meats both ways and they're all good and that's all that counts :cheers2:

Those ribs look good. I saw a couple really nice slabs at SS this week, but I've got to clear out my freezer first. What are you usually cooking the beef ribs at?

Got a big project for tomorrow. Grilled veggies, burgers, steak and such for 12 people (at least) on a $99 Walmart grill, lol. I managed to get 20 chicken drumsticks done last night, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
