Question

If you pulled out the smoke from a fire, would it burn hotter?

Answer 1

Pulling out the smoke from a fire would require ventilation, and cause more fresh air to be sucked to the fire, increasing it and making it burn hotter. So in a way, yes. But probably not the way you (or the rest of Reddit) thought 🙂
