I have a lot of black smoke coming from under my hood and it is burning up oil super quick. There are no significant oil spots where I park it. Where is it going?

The oil is being burnt inside the engine, therefore you are not actually seeing the oil in liquid form. Oil consumption is mostly caused by either worn valve seals or worn piston rings. I have seen cases where rings were missing completely causing massive oil loss. You need to have these checked at a repair shop for proper diagnosis.
