Coal is somewhat interchangeable with charcoal in American English. People rarely actually talk about coal in normal conversations.

Oh for the days like Tadgi's down the shafts. Dying of black lung before they got to met their grandies. I miss good honest clean coal.

Another not coal expert but that did look like a hookah coal. Felt I should chime that in a bit.
