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.

Is burning wood sublimation?
Burning wood does not involve sublimation. Sublimation changes a solid to a gas without altering it chemically. Wood burning does involve destructive distillation. The wood is chemically destroyed, and parts of it go off as gasses, which then combust.
Why did the volcanic ash go in the air not on the ground?
The volcanic ash goes in the air because, they are air-borne materials/particles, and can easily and conviniently be carried and transported by wind, since they are light and not as dense as lava.
How many days did it take for the ash to go around when mt st helens erupted?
how many days did it take for the ash get in the air from the eruption from mt st Helens in 1980
How do volcanoes affect air travel?
The ash that is out thrown from the eruption causes the air to be filled with the ash, and making it very difficult for people and animals to breath, and also blocks the sun. Depending on the force of the eruption, the ash could go into the atmosphere and go around the entire planet, having a global impact.
Why do candles go out when covered?
because the air current carries away the oxygen, which is needed for a candle to burn.

When you smok dose the smok go up or down?
"Smoke", strictly speaking, consists of particles of ash carried on the hot air from burning. Since hot air is less dense than cold air, it rises as it is displaced by the heavier cold air.
