Why does burning of candle produce flames and burning of coal cannot?

First of all we will have to know that what is a flame made up of,a flame is made at a point where fuel and oxygen combine,so in case of both candle and coal there is a fuel ie.wax in candle and coal is itself a fuel.................but if we just think till this much then even coal should produce flame but it doesn't go like this ,actually we are missing something ie. hydrogen(the main component in every flame producing substance).........if hydrogen is not there flame will not be produced .So wax has hydrogen atoms whereas coal doesn't because coal has been burnt before and hydrogen has been used.................that is why hydrogen containing waxy candle produces flames whereas already burnt coal just gives heat not flames. Hope this helps.
