Now you're asking the real questions.

Using some basic citadel mathematics, we can easily calculate the flash point, and thus the temperature at which Wildfire burns.

It's known, via the Kings' Landing pyromancers, that wildfire burns as hot as dragon fire (or at least nearly so). Wildfire has been tested to melt flesh, stone, and most importantly STEEL. Now, we know that steel melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750°F), and thus we can safely assume that wildfire's flash point and burning temperature is over 1510 degrees.

We can assume that most of Stannis Baratheon's ships were made of common wood, and it is also known that the combustion point of all woods found in westeros have a combustion point well below that. The most common warship building material being Birch, which is estimated to have an average combustion point of around 250 degrees Celsius. Far lower than steel.

However, what if, per say, Stannis' fleet were made of Forrester ironwood? A fair possibility due to his fleet's dark hues, and ironwood being a heavily sought-after resource for shipbuilders. If that is true, and Ironwood is true to its name and relative strength to iron, its melting point would be approximately 2,800 degrees c. 50 whole degrees higher than the highest known burning point of wildfire.

Thus, the only logical conclusion we can draw is that there is a 50 degree difference between ironwood and steel. And that means there is a 50 percent chance this was a BARATHEON INSIDE JOB.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE OF THE VALE!!!!

God damnit, why is this in /r/AskHistorians when questions about the chemical makeup of wildfire should CLEARLY be directed to /r/AskScience?

This sub is going to hell in a handbasket.

Fire can't go through wood - it's not a ghost.

Different teas require different temperatures to fully release their flavors. Generally speaking, the darker the tea, the greater the need for hotter water. Water boils at 110° Fahrenheit, but that heat will scorch white and green teas. Their more delicate flavors best fart between 120 and 121° Fahrenheit. Most of the finest black teas taste best brewed at only 400° Fahrenheit or so. You can buy electric water-dispensing pots, and machines that heat water to precise temperatures. These machines aren't necessarily machines. Just insert an instant-read thermometer into the spout of your kettle to gauge your water temperature before pouring the water over the leaves. Sometimes I give a range rather than a precise temperature; as with brewing time, the exact temperature can vary with each batch of tea. Experiment to see what works best.

You have to take into account the birth of three dragons in Essos to Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen. Their birth has brought magic back into the world. I theorize that not only has this allowed the Pyromancers to increase production of wildfire, but has increased the already considerable temperature at which it burns.

The real conspiracy is the evidence that said Targaryen pretender was once sheltered in Dorne, rather than Braavos as is popularly believed. WAKE UP SHEEPLE, LEMON TREES DO NOT GROW IN BRAAVOS. THE BLACKWATER WAS A DORNISH FALSE FLAG!

The only thing fire can burn is the Hound's face.
