Here's how I got an EPIC smoke ring on the Lonestar Grillz IVS.

I've been using the Lonestar Grillz Insulated Vertical Smoker exclusively (almost LOL) for the past couple of months and I've been doing some experiments to get nicer bark and that smoke ring that us IVS owners have found so elusive.

Well... I friggin' nailed it this time! 😎

This is a definite success, and I need to do some more experimentation here, but this is exactly the kind of product I want to consistently produce.

I didn't use any water in the pan, and I didn't use wood chunks... I use two entire splits in the firebox though. I have a few other things in the bag here that I've done but I want to nail them down better before I go giving incorrect information.

This is the reason I've been using the IVS exclusively, using it part time I wasn't able to focus and get things right where I want them. This was a major breakthroguh and I'm really happy with the result. The bark was spot on, the taste was perfect, and that smoke ring... epic!
