Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Burning produces smoke (carbon) and gasses, such as Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide, along with water vapor. Ash is left after the wood is burned. We use our wood ash as fertilizer in our garden, for our grapevines, etc.
Burning wood releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases such as carbon monoxide and methane.
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when wood or coal is burned.
Burning wood turns cellulose into char and carbon dioxide, while lignin is transformed into char, carbon dioxide, and some volatile organic compounds.
Burning wood and coal add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, where it joins other greenhouse gases to contribute to the greenhouse effect. Burning wood may only release carbon that has been stored for some years, depending on the age of the tree. Burning wood will usually not add to the normal carbon cycle, especially if another tree is growing in its place. Burning coal, however, releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. This extra carbon disrupts the natural carbon cycle and is causing the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing the present global warming.
Carbon dioxide.

Technically, carbon is not produced when something is burned. Carbon dioxide is produced. And only if the substance being burned contains carbon compounds. Burning separates the carbon from the other elements in the compound and combines it with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
Burning wood releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases such as carbon monoxide and methane.
carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when wood or coal is burned.
Burning products are water and carbon dioxide.
Burning wood turns cellulose into char and carbon dioxide, while lignin is transformed into char, carbon dioxide, and some volatile organic compounds.
As well as being produced by cars, certain industrial processes, burning wood and so on, carbon dioxide is what human beings produce when they exhale (breathe out). So yes, carbon dioxide is in EVERY home.
Burning wood is not considered a carbon-neutral process because it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Burning produce water vapors, carbon dioxide and ash.
