This may be a language issue: 'charcoal' and 'coal' aren't the same thing in English. FWIW, the wikipedia article on coal says that while coal was used by the Romans, it didn't come into wide use until the 13th century or so. Not that the 13th century is necessarily a bad model for the Malkioni, mind, at least in some respects. They're not iron age Heortlings, after all.
