What is the chemical process that causes the production of ignitable vapors from solid wood fuels?

The chemical process that causes the production of ignitable vapors from solid wood fuels is called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. During pyrolysis, the wood breaks down into volatile gases, which can ignite when exposed to a heat source, leading to combustion.
