Apparently heating cutin to the point of thermal decomposition decreases the
flammability of the material. This may retard the evolution of combustible
gases giving them more time at a high temperature, consequently lowering the
range of particles of incomplete combustion, and increasing the evolution of
gases.

I see Paul is quite knowledgeable about rice hulls!
