The average temperature of a campfire typically ranges between 1,000 to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (538 to 1,093 degrees Celsius).
This temperature can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of wood used, the amount of oxygen available, and how well the fire is built. Hardwoods, for instance, can burn hotter and longer than softwoods due to their density.
At around 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit (593 degrees Celsius), the flames will reach their peak. However, once the initial flame dies down, the temperature can drop to around 500 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit (260 to 315 degrees Celsius) in the glowing embers. These temperatures are what make campfires effective for cooking and providing warmth while camping.
