you'll never get good smoke on a BGE similar to a stick burner. They are just too efficient.

I don't know why this was downvoted this much, but it's 100% correct.

1) Charcoal burners like any WSM/Drum/BGE, etc will only produce thin blue smoke for a couple hours due to the wood chunk size to begin with since charcoal is the primary fuel source.

2) Ceramic smokers are especially efficient and often times won't need the air flow needed to produce long quantities of thin blue smoke. When you run an offset, you mainly run it with the vents wide open and control the temps by adding wood. This is different from a charcoal smoker where you control temps by adjusting air flow.
