Too many variables to give one simple answer. Depends on type of wood, moisture content, and airflow (draft) Wood begins to burn at around 450 degrees F. Hoever, woods with a high resin content, burning under a forced draft can exceed 1,500 F. Enough to turn steel bright cherry red.
There are a few things one can refer to when speaking of pellets. There are wood pellets which one can burn in a wood stove. There are pellets for guns such as BB gun pellets as well regular bullets are called pellets too.
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.
Hardwood pellets generally burn cleaner than softwood pellets because they have a lower resin content, which can create more ash and smoke when burned. Hardwood pellets also tend to have a higher energy density, leading to a more efficient and cleaner burn. Look for high-quality hardwood pellets made from clean and natural wood sources to ensure a cleaner burn.
Yes, but do not expect them to do well. Pellets are intended for use in a pellet stove- spacing, surface area, and air movement are wrong for a standard wood stove- and they are a bit pricey.
Hot enough to burn wood.

Pellets typically burn hotter than traditional firewood because they have a higher energy density and are more refined. This results in a more efficient and cleaner burn. Additionally, pellet stoves are designed to maximize heat output and can offer better temperature control compared to a regular wood stove.
The wood in a match can burn at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit).

A wood fire can burn at temperatures ranging from 600 to 900 degrees Celsius (1,112 to 1,652 degrees Fahrenheit).
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.
