Wikipedia
Cannel coal
Cannel coal or candle coal is a type of bituminous coal, also classified as terrestrial type oil shale. Due to its physical morphology and low mineral content cannel coal is considered to be coal but by its texture and composition of the organic matter it is considered to be oil shale. Although historically the term cannel coal has been used interchangeably with boghead coal, a more recent classification system restricts cannel coal to terrestrial origin, and boghead coal to lacustrine environments.

cannel coal
Cannel coal is a type of coal characterized by its high oil and gas content, blocky structure, and smooth, lustrous appearance. It is generally lighter and more brittle compared to other coals and is often used in domestic fireplaces due to its high flame and minimal ash production. The name "cannel" comes from the old English word for candle, due to its bright flame when burned.
