why charcoal burns so hot even though it’s already been burned
In: Physics
When you make charcoal you aren’t burning wood, you’re basically cooking it. You’re cooking the wood. You have to prevent it from getting any oxygen so it won’t burn and you cook it until the moisture leaves it. Im not an expert on it and I’m not familiar with the exact chemical reaction that takes place but I do know you aren’t burning it. If the fire reaches the wood and it gets oxygen then it will burn just like normal.
