Nope, not fake. Rub I used today was a light dusting of my steak rub, then heavy coat of coarse black pepper and kosher salt. Nothing in my steak rub would make a fake smoke ring. What I can say is this is a typical smoke ring on the Gravity 980 that I can't seem to replicate on anything else. Why? Not sure, guessing it has to be something with how the smoke flows throw through the barrel.

What kind of charcoal are you running? The last few bags of B&B lump charcoal has had temperature spikes toward the end of the cook that I couldn't settle down. I've been able to keep around 235° for a long time and then it spikes to 260° and I can't get it to cool down.

Fogo lump is my go-to. If I can't get it then Blues Hog.
