I do smoke in my oven, in fact I just cold smoked a nice confit pork loin which does add flavor, coals on the other hand do not produce smoke, or flavor, when my oven is up to temp there is no smoke to add a flavor to the food, I think this is a misnomer.

    You may be right. But I find it hard to believe that if you are cooking with a live fire in the oven that smoke has no effect... combustion is unlikely to be that efficient at these temperatures. It isn't fully efficient at temperatures far higher than pizza oven levels. Though there is certainly much less smoke at 700 then 350

    North carolina bbq is traditionally cooked using coals. It adds noticeable flavor to the food...
