| Jul 17, 2015 at 11:48 | comment | added | Popup | The colour spectrum of a wood flame is not a blackbody spectrum! (If it was, it would be almost exclusively in the IR, and the visible part of it would be mostly red.) Instead it depends on the characteristic radiation of the gasses in the flame (mostly nitrogen, but also oxygen). You do get black-body radiation from the embers though. Once the flames have died down you can see a completely different spectrum among the glowing embers. - Increase the airflow and you can get some rather high temperatures, but the spectrum is very different from that of a flame. | |

| Jul 16, 2015 at 19:03 | comment | added | Matthew Najmon | He specifically asked about wood fires, and everything in this answer is about propane and other gaseous fuels. That's a pretty significant difference between the question you answered and the one that was actually asked. | |
