Brisket smoked with maple pellets today on my RT_340.
Last one I did the exact same way with same rub, same pellets, same basic everything and had practically no smoke ring.
This one today the smoke ring looks great. Taste was good just like last time, moist and tender, nice bark.
Wonder what made the difference?

Likely, the meat itself was the difference. Sometimes, you find a brisket that is fine-grained and the smoke doesn’t penetrate as well.

That makes sense, and I had not thought of that, but is really the only difference I can think of, though this one and the last one were sourced from the same place (Kroger). Still, bought at different times so that is the variable I was not thinking about.
 
Fat cap down vs fat cap up ive found creates a more pronounced smoke ring, but if you did all the same im stumped. Never realized a cuts grain tightness could have an effect like that as mentioned above! Learn something new everyday here! Great looking brisket!
