We don't have a Pope!
Madrasaha hit the nail on the head, I think. It must be coal.
Looking at the pictures, as Mad points out, black smoke is a sign of improper cumbustion of coal. Wood with it's high moisture content (40%-50%) would put out a white plume. (Hence the Pope joke. Get it?)
We still have the question of where was the coal stored?
Start digging RIG!
