Best Answer

Most charcoal does contain sulfur. There are limit on how much sulfur commercial charcoal can contain. Pure carbon is an element and thus contains no sulfur (another element) but charcoal which is predominatly carbon is made from vegetable matter (wood, heated in anerobic (no oxygen) environment). As such there are "impurities" which remain in the charcoal.
