Charcoal
Charcoal is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 27 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Charcoal is to buy it: Obli's General Store in Karamja sells it for 45 coins, and 2 other shops stock it too.

Other sources include Specimen tray, Snow impling (2012 Christmas event), Gift of Giving (active) and Training grid, plus 3 more listed below. 4 recipes use Charcoal, including Castle sketch 1, Castle sketch 2 and Castle sketch 3. Charcoal is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 27 coins, which is 18 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
