I have been starting to use the anthracite coal.
It burns very cleanly, no smoke as compared to burning wood, almost no sulfur.
The main problem is just getting it started.

Most types of wood appear to smoke and burn dirtier than this type of high quality coal.
I'm sure the cheap stuff burns pretty dirty but this isn't the cheap stuff.
