The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which it will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame.
For wood this is very depending on moisture content (dryness) and coarseness: wood dust can be explosive, wet wood of blacknut tree hardly burnson its own even at 300 oC.

What are the 3 principles of fire spread?
The three principles from my point of view are:woodsource for causing fire (as cigarets, lighter, ... etc)wood or other materials that are subject to fire (as cloths, curtains, forests, .. etc.)
What makes wood a chemical change?
Fire burn changes the wood chemical.
How does a wood fire generator work to produce electricity?
A wood fire generator works by burning wood to heat water and produce steam. The steam then turns a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity.
What is the flash point of sawdust?
The flash point of sawdust can vary depending on factors such as moisture content, size of particles, and type of wood. Generally, sawdust has a flash point around 300-400°F (150-200°C), making it highly flammable and a fire hazard if not properly stored or handled.
What is it that need wood to thrive dies when it drinks water?
Fire
What temperature does varnished wood catch fire at?
Varnished wood can catch fire at temperatures above 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The ignition point can vary depending on the type of varnish and other factors like the thickness of the wood. It's important to handle varnished wood safely to prevent fire hazards.
Why Water is poured to extinguish burning wood?
Water is poured on burning wood to extinguish the fire because water absorbs heat, cools the wood below its ignition point, and also deprives the fire of oxygen by creating steam that smothers the flames. This combination helps to effectively put out the fire.

How can one make fire with sticks?
To make fire with sticks, you can use a method called friction fire starting. This involves rubbing a stick against a flat piece of wood to create enough heat to ignite a fire. The stick used for rubbing is typically a hardwood stick with a sharp point, while the flat piece of wood is usually a softer wood. By rapidly rubbing the stick against the flat wood, the friction generates heat, eventually creating a spark that can ignite tinder and start a fire.
What happens when you start a fire with a moist wood?
Trying to start a fire with damp wood is very difficult. When I backpack I always carry some tinder (dry shavings) to start a fire. Wet wood will not burn unless the fire is hot enough to evaporate the water that is in the wood. You can burn damp wood on an already burning fire but it will not burn as hot. Wet wood tends to smoke a lot and may go out on a small fire that does not have a good coal base. I have had to use damp wood to start a fire before but I had to shave down the wood until I found dry wood inside. Once you get a small fire started gradually add wood until you can get a hot fire. Too much wet wood at once can put out a fire. Not a good thing when you are cold and wet. Be patient.
What are different types of fire?
wood fire,oil fire,
Will more air give a hotter wood stove fire?
Up to a point, increasing the draft gives a hotter fire. That is why you open the front air ports to increase the temperature of the burn. It also uses more wood, since it is burned more quickly.
How can you get a fire started with wet wood?
To start a fire with wet wood, you can use dry kindling or fire starters to help ignite the wet wood. Additionally, you can try splitting the wet wood to expose the drier interior, or use a fire starter gel or accelerant to help the wood catch fire. It may take more time and effort to get a fire started with wet wood, but it is possible with the right techniques.
Is fire-treated wood water-resistant?
Yes, fire-treated wood is water-resistant.
How can you make a fire with wet wood?
To make a fire with wet wood, you can use dry kindling and tinder to help ignite the wet wood. Start by building a small fire with the dry materials, then gradually add the wet wood to the flames. The heat from the initial fire will help dry out the wet wood and eventually ignite it. Patience and perseverance are key when starting a fire with wet wood.
Why aborigines light fire by rubbing pieces of wood together?
Rubing two pieces of wood together rapidly and consistently can cause enough friction to heat the wood to the point of ignition. However these days I doubt if there are many aboriginals that would light a fire that way. a lighter is much easier.
