When wood burns, essentially organic molecules within the wood is oxidized into carbon dioxide, among other oxidized carbon forms. The various oxidized carbon forms are mainly gases and is released into the atmosphere. Because after the wood is burned out, the majority of the organic material has been converted into the gases, much of the wood's mass is lost.

∙ 13y agoYes, as the wood burns, part of the mass is converted into mass and the rest is converted into CO2 which is a gas therefore, not visible.

What types of wood burn the fastest?
Less dense wood will burn fastest, such as balsa wood. In general, the faster a tree grows, the less dense the wood from that tree will be.
Why does dense wood burn better?
Depending on what you mean by "better", it doesn't burn better. It might burn longer but it is much harder to ignite, and does not burn as hot as less-dense wood.
You need a good explanation for this question What burns faster paper wood or cardboard?
Paper burns faster as there is less mass to burn and less energy in paper, If it were wood, due to the mass of the wood it would burn Longer and brighter and less lengthened and less brighter for Cardboard.
Does avacado wood burn?
Avocado wood (and any natural wood) will burn. Heat value is similar to elm. More heat value than pine, less than oak.
Why does less dense wood burn faster?
more space for air (oxygen)
Will putting wet wood on a bed of coals in a wood stove create creosote in chimney?
Creosote is not created- it is naturally in the wood. A "cool" burn lets the creoste present in the smoke condense on the walls of the chimney. With a hot burn, the flue gasses are hot enough that less is deposited on the chimney. Wet wood gives a cooler burn.
Is it safe to burn wood with varnish in a wood stove?
No it is not safe to burn it.

They sell baskets for burning wood pellets in fireplaces. Are they any good?
Wood pellets are intended to burn under a forced draft. They will not burn as well in a fireplace- why not use regular firewood? It is much less expensive than the wood pellets, and will burn as well in a fireplace. PS- a fireplace is a very poor choice for heating a home.
If you weigh 270 pounds and want to weigh 200 how do you do that?
