∙ 14y agoWell the short answer is YES, charcoal does contain carbon, because to put it simply, charcoal is carbon just in an impure state. Though charcoal contains the element carbon, that is not just what it contains. Because it is impure, obviously impure means not pure, so it has other things besides only carbon.

Why does charcoal burn longer and hotter than the wood that made it?
We work at a lab testing wood and charcoal burning stoves. Charcoal doesn't burn hotter than wood in a stove. That's why it's better for broiling not burning steaks. Charcoal is used in lots of places like African cities because it makes little smoke and keeps burning for a long time which is more convenient than wood that requires tending. Also charcoal can be made and sold by the rural poor to the urbanites who have more money. And charcoal is lighter than wood for transport. However, more than half of the energy in the wood is wasted when turning wood into charcoal! From an ecological perspective it's a lot better to burn wood cleanly. Charcoal is almost pure carbon ... no moisture, no extraneous chemicals. But don't forget, charcoal is a residue ... a lot of wood was burned to make it.
