"In the survey, which was conducted to find out the UK public's attitudes to sustainability of charcoal, 8 per cent admitted not knowing what it was made from, even when given a list of materials to choose from, and 25 per cent thought charcoal was made from mined coal. Just over 3 in 5 answered correctly that it is made from wood (61%)."
But, to be fair, I don't think the average Joe (or Jill) spends much time thinking about charcoal, and "coal" is right there in the name.
