Probably happens more often than we know. I hear thuds out of my basement burner when mine is rollin.
New batch of wood? what species ?

This happens when a trapped moisture or sap pocket heats up to the point where steam pops the cork. Sometimes, given the right conditions, it can be dramatic. I have had embers pop six feet unexpectedly when tending a fire.
