[Stoves] Why doesn't charcoal burn in the Champion TLUD?

[Huck Rorick]

Hi Paul, 

 

Can you explain why the charcoal in a Champion TLUD doesn't burn?  There is
heat generated to drive off the gases from the wood.  Why doesn't that heat
burn the carbon as well?

 

Under what circumstances would it burn?

 

If you leave the charcoal in the bottom of the TLUD and don't dump it out
into an airtight container will it slowly burn away in the bottom of the
TLUD?  If you shut off the primary air?  Will it burn away quickly if you
give maximum primary air?
