the specific heat of firewood is higher than iron so iron releases more heat at a particular temp as compared to firewood and lowers its body temperature thereby making us feel that it is cooler to touch
In winter season we feel dat an iron bar is very cool to touch compared to a fire wood why it happens but we know that the temperature shud be the same.

when we touch iron,it immediately conducts the heat away from our hand as it has greater thermal conductivity,as a result of which our hand feels colder.
