..probably.  Verify your no-smoke observations with gas samples,
and then chk with your (local?) steel industry, my understanding 
is the steel industry went for mined fossil coal because they ran 
out of charcoal and wood, centuries back.

..wood charcoal is usually cleaner and more reactive than the 
fossil coals, and you have a powdery charcoal, so it would be 
more of interest for at least for the special expensive steel 
alloy makers, rather than the cheap big bulk makers.

..but I've been wrong before. ;o)
