Why is it that when you poke hot coals with an object, the point in which you poked it turns black?

Answer:
The carbon on the coal rubs off on the point of the poker.
(Also, if the pointer is burnable, it may be turning into a little charcoal too.)
I believe its called soot from the coals.
I would say that the heat is only extremely hot and emanating light at the surface where the fire is still fueled by oxygen in the air.
If you poke the coals with a stick, you are really just exposing inner layers which have already burned and are thus not emanating any light energy.
