The practicalmachinist is just a random forum thread, but with various numbers scattered through it. The Wikipedia article doesn’t even talk about ignition temperature, from what I can parse.
FYI ‘default’ LLMs are really bad at numbers, due to the way they sample and tokenize them. Don’t trust them for that.
But if you must, use a big LLM instead of DDG’s default. I suggest this, which has an excellent web research mode:
Paper has auto-ignition temperature higher than 420°F, I would expect wood to be at least same as paper or higher
Edit: ok, I found a link to the study that says the wood will ignite at a lower temperature but will require some time (maybe the same is true for paper, now I’m not sure, it definitely chars in the oven)
The problem with using an oven as a reference is that the majority of ovens have relatively large temperature swings. You might set it to 420F, but the temperature swing can be anywhere from 10-60F, so it’s possible to hit 480F which is well over the autoignition temp.
You’re good. ;)
That’s why the carpet caught on fire first
But nylon and polyester have an autoignition temp of over 400C (~750F)
Pleb, we have cotton carpets
That appears to be a guess at best. Kinda a hallucination.

Or this, at a low temperature, though its research mode isn’t as good:

Which model though? What settings? 4o mini at ~1 temperature?
That’s both power inefficient and not very intelligent/reliable.

Look, this fool is relying on AI. Everyone point and laugh!
I mean something in the entire house will burst into flames at 420
The auto ignition temperature of hair is ~390
