Answer:
Charcoal made at 300 °C (572 °F) is brown, soft and friable, and readily inflames at 380 °C (716 °F); made at higher temperatures it is hard and brittle, and does not fire until heated to about 700 °C (1,292 °F). In Finland and Scandinavia, the charcoal was considered the by-product of wood tar production.
