Yes, a cork can burn. As a natural product made from the bark of cork oak trees, it is primarily composed of cellulose, lignin, and suberin, making it flammable. When exposed to an open flame or high heat, cork will ignite and can produce smoke and ash as it burns. However, it may take longer to ignite compared to some other materials due to its density and moisture content.

Does cork burn?

Cork burns great. I was saving them for an art project that I never started. I had about 100 and put 25 at a time in the fireplace to see if they would burn because I was running out of firewood and kindling. They make a lot of smoke but burn hot and leave few ashes. Cork acts like a wood burning stove pellet in my opinion.
