How hot was the ash and mud spewing from Mt. Vesuvius?
It depends on how far it has traveled. Ash fresh out of a volcano may be as hot as 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Ash that has fallen from high in the atmosphere will be the same temperature as its environment.
Why does ash from burning wood go up into the air?
The heat from the burning wood below causes the air to rise; the hot air has a density lower than the cold air and consequently a trend to rise. The fine ash has also a very low density; consequently can be carried by warm air rising in the atmosphere. So any of the ash that is released from the wood above the heat of the fire will rise until the air cools.

Will putting wet wood on a bed of coals in a wood stove create creosote in chimney?
Creosote is not created- it is naturally in the wood. A "cool" burn lets the creoste present in the smoke condense on the walls of the chimney. With a hot burn, the flue gasses are hot enough that less is deposited on the chimney. Wet wood gives a cooler burn.

How do you a make wood fire burn hotter?
The best way to make a fire burn hotter is to use the hottest burning logs that you can. Oak, Ash and Black Locust burn very hot. Feed them into the fire along with fast burning wood such as Maple to keep the fire raging. If you do not burn a fast burning wood with the Oak and Ash, they will burn very hot, but very slowly. The object is to make as many red hot coals from the Oak and Ash at the base of the fire as possible. That is where the heat from your fire will come from and the more coals the hotter the fire will feel. Additional information for those seeking info on other than fireplace fires It also helps to make a low side base surrounded by something and make it narrow at the top, so that all the fire is more focused in one spot. using all these ideas was what made the first copper, silver, and gold things. you may ask yourself how can you make a fire so hot that it burns metal but not whats surrounding it. rocks, carefully build rock kilns.

Why doesn't the wood stove heat like it use to?
there is nothing intrinsically wrong with a stove that doesn't heat like it used to. It is in the wood that you are using. Maybe this load of wood is not as seasoned as the loads you used before. Any moisture left in unseasoned wood will reduce the heat of the fire and make the stove seem like it is not heating. Or maybe this load of wood is a different kind of wood than in the past. If you used Oak, Ash and Black Locust in the past, and are using Maple now, or Elm or Sycamore, it will not burn as hot. These woods burn faster but with less heat.
