These can be sticks or blocks of wood and the wood can be wet or dry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s examine the types of wood fires that most people are familiar with and perhaps even use in their day-to-day lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wood-Burning Stove<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wood-burning stove, sometimes referred to as a wood stove, is a cooking appliance that can also be used for heating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can insert sawdust bricks and other wood-derived biomass into the stove as well as wood fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stove will consist of a firebox that\u2019s usually made of metal. A wood-burning stove must have a flue as well to feed the fumes outside of the home for safety\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood-burning stoves give a home a rustic appeal and charm. The stove can also be used for cooking a variety of foods, including bacon, pancakes, steak, fish, braised meat, and even cookies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fireplace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoor or outdoor, a fireplace is sure to impress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perceived as an opulent home addition, fireplaces do more than improve a property\u2019s curb appeal. They also provide warmth and ambiance, especially in the wintertime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t use a fireplace to cook the same way you would a wood-burning stove. Mostly, it\u2019s that cozy atmosphere, the smell of burning wood, and the warmth of being in the vicinity of the fire that makes a fireplace such a sought-after addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should be careful because <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/does-burning-wood-produce-carbon-monoxide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">burning wood does produce carbon monoxide<\/a> amongst other chemicals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Firepit&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who don\u2019t own a fireplace, a <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-to-safely-put-out-a-fire-pit-firefighter-weighs-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">firepit<\/a> is nearly as good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firepits are outdoors only. You can make a firepit yourself or you can purchase one at the store. Firepits are like a self-contained campfire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can poke the wood, continue to add firewood to keep the fire burning, or put the fire out by dousing it with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike a fireplace, if you wanted to roast hot dogs on a spit or make some backyard s\u2019mores, both are viable options with a firepit. You wouldn\u2019t really use a firepit for much other cooking the same way you would a wood-burning stove though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Hot_Is_a_Wood_Fire_What_Is_the_Maximum_Temperature_of_a_Wood_Fire\"><\/span><strong>How Hot Is a Wood Fire? What Is the Maximum Temperature of a Wood Fire?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How hot must wood be before it catches on fire?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not that hot, actually. In temperatures between 390 and 500 degrees, wood will ignite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it\u2019s alight, wood also undergoes pyrolysis, a multi-stage process that helps the wood decompose the longer it burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So at temperatures of around 320 degrees, the wood will begin to shrink, crack, and develop visible char marks. By the time the temperature reaches 390 degrees, the wood has ignited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wood will begin to decompose faster as temperatures rise from 500 to 800 degrees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wood isn\u2019t done burning yet, though. As pyrolysis continues, <strong>the top temperature that wood can reach is around 2,000 degrees!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it does depend on the type of wood in question. For example, birch wood usually burns at around 1,500 degrees, which isn\u2019t quite as hot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of various types of wood as well as their approximate top ignition temperature from the coolest to the hottest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Wood<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Temperature (\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Victorian Ash<\/td><td>592 \u00b0F (311 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Radiata Pine<\/td><td>660 \u00b0F (349 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Douglas Fir<\/td><td>662 \u00b0F (350 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Western Red Cedar<\/td><td>670 \u00b0F (355 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Redwood<\/td><td>687 \u00b0F (364 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spruce<\/td><td>1,148 \u00b0F (620 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Birch<\/td><td>1,500 \u00b0F (815 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Oak<\/td><td>1,652 \u00b0F (900 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beech <\/td><td>1,742 \u00b0F (950 \u00b0C)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Can wood burn even hotter than 2,000 degrees? Yes, but it\u2019s not something that happens often and usually requires highly specific conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wood_Fire_Safety_Tips\"><\/span><strong>Wood Fire Safety Tips<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your wood fire isn\u2019t burning at 2,000 degrees, it\u2019s still very hot and can cause severe burns and injuries if you get too close. That\u2019s why we thought we\u2019d wrap up with safety tips for wood fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check the Flue Before Every Use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of stuff can get stuck in the flue, from an accumulation of soot to leaves, bird\u2019s nests, and sometimes even wild animals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you burn an indoor fireplace, you want to get into the habit of inspecting the flue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, the best time to do this is during the day so you can see if anything is stuck up there. Then contact a chimney sweep to remove the debris rather than try to do so yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only Burn Untreated Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treated wood that goes into a fireplace or firepit can release dangerous fumes and toxins that you don\u2019t want yourself or your family breathing in. The same is also true of burning garbage or plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should only use wood for a fireplace or firepit. Dispose of your garbage properly and recycle plastic if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check That Your Smoke Alarms Are Working<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using a wood-burning stove or a fireplace indoors, you want to be triply sure that your smoke alarms are in working order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should make it a habit to check the alarms twice per year anyway. Open them up, look for any sensor obstructions, and consider replacing the batteries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, should the worst happen and fire occurs, you know your smoke alarm would indicate as much so you can quickly get out of the house!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use the Fireplace Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fireplace included a grated screen for a reason. The screen prevents embers from jumping out onto your floor or carpet, which could start a fire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also have a layer of protection between you and the fire, which is always nice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Put_Out_a_Wood_Fire_Properly\"><\/span><strong>Put Out a Wood Fire Properly\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You must take the proper protocols when putting out a firepit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stop adding more wood to the fire about an hour before you want to put the firepit out. Once the flames begin going down, cover them in water, then stir the embers and ashes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use sand, dirt, or a snuffer to extinguish a firepit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood fires such as those from a fireplace, wood-burning stove, or firepit can burn at up to 2,000 degrees, which is mighty hot! We hope the precautions that we presented in this guide help you enjoy fire features safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you ever light a wood-burning stove, an indoor fireplace, or an outdoor fire pit, then you\u2019ve &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"How Hot Can A Wood Fire Get?
