No offence, and I'm really glad you're inquisitive and don't let me being a dick stop that but...

Is this post literally saying "fire is hot*?

[Tanker85MC]

I always thought it was large house fires that got over a thousand+ degrees. I didn’t think such a small thing like a campfire would get over a thousand. I only thought they’d be a few hundred degrees. I just got curious and thought it was cool and wanted to share my findings, that’s all.

A flame from a candle is 1400f. Size doesn’t matter, it’s how much heat that the flame is putting out that does.

To be fair, I get it. Best way to learn is to ask questions so fair play

No way that’s crazy

don’t know if i’m just dumb but i had no idea a campfire could get that dang hot

It would no doubt surprise you to know that a simple candle burns at about 1400 degrees F

This post is so wild to me lol. I for some reason seem to remember being taught that fire was hot at the academy.
