I’m guessing it has to do with airflow. Offsets supposedly produce the best quality smoked food, but they go through fuel like crazy. This fuel consumption requires a LOT of airflow. If you burn more efficiently there is less air moving through the cooker. Ceramic cookers are very efficient, which means very little air flow passing over the meat.

I believe this is why you’re detecting similarities with oven cooked food when you cook in a ceramic cooker.
