There is no one simple answer- it will depend on the moisture content of the wood, of the air used in burning the wood, the type of wood, and the draft of air. It is possible to obtain temperatures around 2,500 F under ideal conditions.

What is the difference between a yellow gas flame and a orange gas flame?

Well like with any flame, the lighter the flame, the higher the temperature of the flame. If the flam is burning Yellow, it is at a higher temperature and is burning more oxygen than an orange flame is. That is your difference other than the color.


Why does wood flame is yellow where as natural gas flame appears blue?

Answer:Color of a flame depends primarily on its temperature. In the visible spectrum, red is the coolest, blue the warmest. The yellow you see in burning wood is from its lower temperature and the incandescence of fine particles in the flame called soot. The soot is formed because of a lack of oxygen during combustion. Natutral Gas burns at a higer temperature and tends to burn more completely in the environments we use it in, so you see a blue flame and little to no soot.
