Coal:

The first and most frequent use of the word rendered coal is a live ember, burning fuel (Proverbs 26:21). In 2 Samuel 22:9, 13, "coals of fire" are put metaphorically for the lightnings proceeding from God (Psalm 18:8; 18:12-13; 140:10). In Proverbs 26:21 fuel not yet lighted is clearly signified. The fuel meant in the above passage is probably charcoal, and not coal in our sense of the word.
