What is an adjective to describe something that burns at a hot temperature?
I am looking for a phrase or a single word that describes something that burns at a high temperature, like in this sentence:
His temper was volatile and {hot-burning}, like acetone.
"Hot-burning" is the closest thing I can think of, but seems clunky and incorrect.
