A steady flame doesn't flicker -- the flickering is caused by
turbulent air movements, which in turn depend pretty strongly on the
heat and size of the fire, presence of wind, etc. Still, my guess
(just based on looking at fires) would be that the bulk of the power is
at frequencies below 10 Hz.

So let me get this straight: you want somebody to take the time to
read your question and then write a response to it, but you're not
willing to take the time to check the newsgroup for an answer? Is
that what you're saying?
