What causes firewood to pop when burning?

I am burning some dry oak that has been in the barn all summer.
It started popping embers to the point I had to put the fire out. Way more than normal 5-10 ft outside the fire pit
What causes this?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O
You're converting wood into a gas that expands quickly under high temperature.

The wood imitates the sounds of where it came from, in your case North Baton Rouge

I guess you're actually producing TWO gasses (carbon dioxide and water vapor).
I think carbon dioxide is what is causing the popping because it is the result of the actual oxidation of cellulose in the wood itself.
The water vapor is the result of the reduction of the molecular oxygen surrounding the wood.

How fast did the oak burn?
I had some branches from my oak tree one time and it never wanted to burn.
I had to eventually throw it away or let Mother Nature take its course and let it rot.
I did see the Lowe’s carries a line of firewood or fire log that has extra popping or crackling sounds as I was shopping this weekend for Christmas lights.
