Why is fuel explosive?
It's not really explosive. It's flammable. At optimal concentrations along with oxygen, any flammable substance will burn so quickly that an explosion is given off - it acts as a run-away train reaction and quickly burns all the available fuel. Dust from grain isn't considered explosive or even flammable by most but it can explode giant silos under certain conditions. Pressure explosions are also common in which pressure generated from the combustion of a fuel bursts the container. This is what happens in a combustion chamber inside an engine, forcing the piston down and transferring energy.

Why a spark can cause coal dust in a mine to explode and yet not cause an explosion with charcoal in a barbecue grill?
It is a question of the fuel oxygen ratio. Coal dust has a very high mix rate and as such will burn so quickly it is a form of explosion. A briquet has a very low surface area and is not as volatile. Note that any dust will explode. Flour has always been dangerous and grain silos are built to contain massive explosions.
