(2) The external flame is in full contact with air, and the temperature is the highest when burning. Therefore, when the picnic pot is heated, it should be adjusted to a suitable height and heated by external flame;
(3) The combustion is not prosperous, and a large amount of smoke is produced, indicating that combustible materials cannot fully contact with oxygen, but they are not completely burned; The condition of full combustion of combustible materials is full contact with oxygen;
