Cleaner fuel as drawing material (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charcoal

'drawing material' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cleaner fuel' is the wordplay.
'cleaner' becomes 'char' (char can mean a cleaner).
'fuel' becomes 'coal' (coal is a kind of fuel).
'char'+'coal'='CHARCOAL'

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for charcoal that I've seen before include "Fuel - stick for drawing" , "coloured sticks" , "Art material and fuel" , "Fuel for barbecue cookers" , "type of fuel" .)
