I found it interesting that he claims burning charcoal doesn't generate moisture and therefore doesn't cause rust: burning charcoal does indeed give off water vapor!
From my understanding, charcoal consists essentially of pure carbon, so there is no hydrogen that would produce the water molecule. Of course, there will be some impurities, and trapped moisture, but relatively low amount (?), low enough that the produced water vapour wouldn't condensate on the vessel. The statement is probably meant in contrast with alcohol or gas burning which produces quite a lot of water.
