Does wood have a low conductivity if it is very hot—that is, in the stage of smoldering, red-hot coals? Could you safely walk across a bed of red-hot wooden coals with bare feet? Although the coals are hot, does much heat conduct from them to your feet if you step quickly? Could you do the same on red-hot iron coals? Explain. (Caution: Coals can stick to your feet, so—OUCH!—don’t try it!)
