  I think you mean charcoal. Coal would probably make your food taste awful.

    In my language I don’t think there’s a distinction between the two, but you can say it’s barbecue coal etc.

      There better be. Charcoal is semi-burnt wood. Coal is effectively ‘solid’ oil. Cooking with regular coal would be horrible.

        In my language, the word for coal refers to both types, but you can specify “wood coal” or “rock coal” if necessary.

        We have like barbecue coal or bricettes, and coal ore as far as I know but I am no coal miner.

        Either way it’s not like we get them confused because our language is a certain way.
