I would like to know on whether fire / fume carry positive or negative charges during burning. Furthermore, do they carry any magnetic field as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Fire is a weakly ionised plasma with a very low electron temperature around .1 eV. Additionally since the plasma is at room temperature, the mean free path as well as ion electron density is extremely low as a result there is a very short mean free path in regards to ions and electrons. As a result ions and electrons have a fairly low velocity compared to higher temperature plasmas and the applied force from any magnet is insufficient to cause much of a visible deflection.
