Ahhh, not so fast. You can get a smoke ring with no smoke, smoke, covered in paper, etc. It's not the smoke, and it's not the rub that keeps it out. Read this little experiment. If the CO and NO can penetrate paper and hepa filters, then they can penetrate rub, which once on the meat, will become moist. The smoke ring is a bit of a myth. Hell, look at your hamburgers off of a charcoal grill next time. They will have a smoke ring, albeit thin, and they might have only been on there for a few minutes.
