Fire combustion....water vapor

[indaswamp]

So here's a question...how much water vapor is created from combustion of a fire? I can't remember off the top of my head....

Would that not depend upon how much water is in the wood?

That moisture would flash to gas upon heating, yes....but the actual burning of wood creates CO2 and H2O....
