Does wood undergo pyrolysis before it burns?

Wood undergoes pyrolysis as it burns. Pyrolysis is the destructive distillation of the wood, producing gasses, which burn as they leave the wood, and carbon, which will also eventually burn. This is how wood normally burns.There is a link to an article on pyrolysis below.

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.


What is the cause of pyrolysis?
