What is the main form of energy in a piece of wood before it is placed on a campfire? What are two forms of energy that are released when wood is burned?

If I am right, then the main form of energy in a piece of wood before it is placed on a campfire is chemical energy. One form of energy that is released when wood is burned is thermal energy, what's the second one?

Your right with chemical energy is stored in a piece of wood before its burned and then that it releases thermal energy whilst its being burned. It will also release sound energy but not nearly as much as thermal energy.
