    Fire goes out but black chunk left, wood stove vs open fireplace, why?

    Recently I burn kiln-dried oak, but every time after the fire goes out, it doesn’t all turn into ash — there are always a lot of black chunks left. However, when I burn the same wood in an open fireplace, it all turns into ash. Why is that?
