It burns slowly (reaction with oxygen at lower rate) at relatively low temperature (150oC). In a good fire place or a funeral pile temperature has risen and flames will appear, can grow to more than 10 metres high (forest fires!)

What else can I help you with?

Why does wood initially burn with a flame and later only grows without a flame?

When wood burns initially, it releases flammable gases like hydrogen and methane that ignite and produce a flame. As the fire consumes these gases, the remaining wood chars and forms charcoal, which burns without producing visible flames because it requires a higher temperature to combust. This process is known as smoldering.

When a wooden splint is placed in the outer part of the Bunsen flame, it burns with a smoky flame due to incomplete combustion. When placed in the inner blue cone of the flame, it burns with a clean, non-smoky flame due to complete combustion of the wood. The inner blue cone is the hottest part of the flame, which allows for more efficient burning.

The flame is produced by gasses coming out of the fresh wood/coal. Once the gasses are exhausted one is left with just the carbon and this does not gassify as it combusts and therefore just glows.
