so they are exothermic and done for the energy they produce. Lack of o2 = CO or C. do we ever want to intentially form C or CO? CO is toxic so i doubt that but C...could we ever want this and gain it by means of incomplete combustion?

The black soot you see when you burn something is C. It is actually carcinogenic (i.e. it causes cancer), so you wouldn't want to make too much of that. In other words, if you keep eating burnt toast, you will get cancer....

Well then, get going! Don't wait for your parents to organise your own funeral!
