I agree that hot coals would not work (per the previous dust factor mentioned), but if they did a hot shot I do not see why they couldn't do a "raisin" shot (heated grape shot) as this would have been easier to heat than the Hot shot I would expect.

Did anyone see the Myth Busters' Pirate special in whch they tried different ammunition in the cannons?

If it heats up fast, it cools down fast. Also the loading process is critical to your own ship. Mythbuster's treatment of the splinter effect of ships guns is deeply flawed and ,unfortunately , is one of their less thought out episodes. Land gunners don't always know what they are talking about when it comes to the tall ships.
