[@shexdensmore]

Thank you!

[@Tletna]

Thank you. I was wondering how aluminium (with a higher melting point than paper's ignition point) was melting. So paper can burn hotter than the ignition point.

The forced air also aids in increasing the temperature.

[@nomis2361]

whats the coldest fire you can burn? much love from AZ

[@Outofcontexst]

Lol no one responded XD

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

The reason this worked is that the density of the paper was enough to slow down the speed in which the cellulose burns. the more tightly together the roll is the less surface area can oxidize (burn) and thus the longer it takes for the plasma that makes flames to reach the unburned fuel. Not to mention the paper and the cardboard was probably treated as well. Fun Fact: This same premouse is used as a low-end firebox for a blizzard kit as you can use a toilet paper roll and a coffee can to light a small fire and it will burn for a few hours. But you want to get rid of the cardboard roll on the inside as the glues used to bind it when burned create a toxic fume that can be problematic if inhaled.
