Morphology
The compound clearly links 'charcoal' and 'burner', so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer it refers to something or someone involved with burning charcoal or charcoal production. However, the precise occupational sense — a person who makes charcoal by burning wood rather than a device that burns charcoal — is not fully predictable from the parts, making the expression only partially transparent.
Etymology
Charcoal burner is a simple stove that holds and burns charcoal, so the hot coals give warmth for cooking or heating. So it means 'a device that burns charcoal for heat'.
