It means you need coke or charcoal.  The stock of what you have may be highlighted to be put in a stockpile.  Use t to check the woodburner and smelter to make sure you have some.

Go to the smelter. There should be an option to turn it into Coke. However, you need fuel for this process.

However what it sounds like, you can't make iron because you have no fuel. In this case, make charcoal at the wood furnace. Then you can use this charcoal to kick-start your coal refining for more efficient fuel. Or if you can't wait, just use the charcoal to make an iron bar, and use that bar for the chain.
