have a cool video of a coal barge burning...really just smoking badly from
hot coal"

Most coal has a goodly amount of hydrocarbons in it. It is highly
subject to spontaneous combustion. Power plants pack the piles with a
roller, to exclude air. Otherwise they catch fire. The smoke means
that the coal in that barge is on fire.
