think. See

Hi Marianne

Probably, you can use grill charcoal. What they use here is not
briquettes, but it looks like wood. I don't think it would make too
much difference.

Like I said, the Japanese kilns are not like ours. The
elements are thick and are not damaged by the oxides. I don't think
this method would protect coil type elements. People have coated new
elements with ITC with some sucesss.
