You should have stopped here and would be correct.

They do pretty well for smoking, but require a watchful eye. If you want to smoke, I'd get a smoker honestly.

What?!? They require no watchful eye. They're ceramic and hold heat, similar to an oven, which is why they are perfect for smoking.

I would definitely get an electric charcoal coal starter if your gonna use natural charcoal.

OK, now I don't believe you've used one before. IF you're going to use natural charcoal isn't for discussion with a ceramic cooker.
