When you burn wood you get smoke which has some of the smells and flavors of the wood in it. Those are passed on too the meat and gve it a nice smoked flavor. The slow cooking has a lot to do with it too because it allows the tastes to get deep inside the meat. Gas and electric don't have this and give you the more natural meat taste, with no other flavors. personally I like the smoked method.

Wood gives off smoke and flavors as it burns, which gets absorbed in the food. Gas burns virtually odorless.
Slow cooking adds no flavor. It make meat more tender. I use an electric smoker. The electric element slow cooks the meat, makes it tender, but adds no flavor. I add wood chips, which create the smoke and flavor the meat. Mmmm now I'm hungry for some 5hr smoked ribs.

No, it is because from earliest times until recently we all cooked our food on top of a fire. Our molecules had 3 million years to adapt. Suddenly we cook our food differently and our molecules are confused.
By cooking our food using gas or electricity we still cook from the outside in, but when we use a microwave, the food cooks from the inside outwards.
Cancer cells (which have no memories) love microwave cooked food.

I would think from the smoke aroma from the kind of wood it is.
Have you ever tried smoked salmon? Our family uses different kinds of wood chips. You should try it.
The slow cooker is more or less steamed foods and that will too give it a wonderful taste, but nope it the wood & smoke.

No it's the smoke. You can cook with different types of wood and actually change the taste of what you are cooking. They do the same with charcoal now as well and you can actually buy in the supermarket 'liquid smoke'.

Wood has aromatics in it that are imparted to the food as the smoke envelopes it.

Nope. It picks up flavor from the smoke.

Soot and ash seem to be good flavor enhancers.
