Best Answer

Charring is the chemical process of incomplete or interrupted combustion of solids when subjected to high heat intensities.

When we subject a solid to heat, charring interferes in a way that it removes gases (usually hydrogen and oxygen), resulting in a char composes only from carbon. Examples of carbonaceous material that result from charring are coke fuel, charcoal, and [rarely] black coal, when we apply high values of heat on wood and raw coal.

Can you eat charred wood?

If by "you" you mean termites, i would say it depends on the thickness of the charring. I have seen termites eat through timber that has been charred using a blowtorch and then coated with tar. They ate through both layers to get to the wood underneath. I feel thicker charring would be effective once it has been impregnated with a substance that is toxic to them. Simply charring by itself does not appear effective.
