Wood destruction

In the third gif, Toothless violently fragments about 3000 cc of wood. If we assume that the wood is Eastern White pine, then it requires 6.2053 J/cc to violently fragment.

3000 x 6.2053 = 18615.9

18615.9 J is 4.4493068833652 gTNT.

What if we take into account the fact that some of the wood was likely pulverized? Therefore, let's say that 1500 cc were violently fragmented, and 1500 cc were pulverized.

Fragmentation:
1500 x 6.2053 = 9307.95

Pulverization:
1500 x 33.0948 = 49642.2

Add them together:
9307.95 + 49642.2 = 58950.15 joules, or ~14 grams of TNT.
