what in wood poops when you burn it in a fireplace were can i get more of just that?

Answer 1

Are you sure you want poop in your fireplace? ;)

If the wood is not completely dried, steam will build up inside the logs and under the bark. When it "escapes" it makes a popping sound. If you burn a sappy wood, like pine, or wood that isn't completely dried or seasoned, be sure and get your chimney cleaned on a regular basis. The creosote can build up and cause a chimney fire. For that reason, among others, don't leave a fire unattended.

Answer 2

What makes the popping sound of wood in a fire is the buildup of pockets of hot gas inside the burning wood, which eventually break free and make a "popping" sound.

Unfortunately, there isn't a single chemical behind this that you can extract from the wood. But if you want to make the fire crackle more, try burning wood from pine trees.

Answer 3

Throw popcorn into the fireplace. But stand back, because they might be burning when they fly out.

Answer 4

its water - in the wood, it forms steam, expands, and causes the wood to pop.
It might be hard to get a fire to light with just that though.
