Im posting this mostly as a curiosity. Ive done probably around 50 cooks in my vault since i got it and pretty much never had a smoke ring. When i smoke on my kettle with the SnS the smoke ring is always present and prominent. Now i dont really care, its a visual thing vs flavor, which is much more important but like i said, im super curious.
I’ve only done three cooks (pork butt and baby back ribs) and have gotten smoke rings. I’m going to do chicken this weekend and I’ll let you know if I’m lying.

I’ve had my smoke vault for several years and always get a smoke ring. I use larger pieces of wood...say 2-3†by 1†+ thick. Make sure and check your temps at each grate, they can be all over the place.
Dadof3Illinois currently doing a rib cook. The top shelf is about 3 degrees higher than than just below middle so not much variation at all i would say.
