[Stoves] "exothermic" is still a kind of mystery for me

[Frans Peeters]

ADAM:


I am really tempted to make a laboratory experiment. Place a piece of oven
dry wood in a small container, and place it in in electric oven by 500°C.,
record the temperature inside the small container wood, ideally the
temperature should jump up more quickly above 280°C, because of additional
“exothermic” heat supplied from “inside the wood-charcoal piece?
But I don’t recall to have seen such a jump in a plotted graph? Also anyone
has an idea about that”amount” of that expected “exothermic” heat?? 


THANKS Chris
