Erm...I didn't understand that so Im still gonna tell myself it can be done!
No problem, we'll just do it every now and then as a media thing!
What I think Namu is trying to say, is that although the wood may not burst into flames, it may still blacken and turn to charcol, and not liquifiy properly.

Do not mouse over spoiler if you are sensitive person.

Yea I know, I'm just trying to pretend no one said that.
No no no! not only could the terminator burn one of his arms if he was cold, he (or she for that matter) could give someone a nasty spliter. So ha!
BTW, screw sensitivity...

Wow this stuff has almost too much potential!
actually that wouldn't work. at least not in true space. changes of state aren't dependent on temperature, but rather on an object's vapor pressure. (vapor pressure is created by the random atoms that are constantly leaving solids and liquids, which also create an object's smell) as an example, reducing the pressure around a beaker of water will allow it to boil at room temperature. the atmospheric pressure is what allows liquids and solids to exist. because there's no pressure in true space, the tree would turn into vapor, not into a liquid. (the same thing would happen to an astronaut if he didn't wear his pressurized space suit) to liquify the tree, there would still have to be some pressure present in the tree's environment. as to how much pressure, i have no idea. also, as for the question about the tree burning.....i have no idea as to whether or not flash point is affected by pressure

Like Xenon! I doesn't have to be Xenon, I just like saying Xenon! It could be argon, but i'll just pretend it's Xenon. Xenon.
Xeeeeeeeeeeeeeenon
It's like Melting trees in space, it just has a ring to it...
Seriously it wouldn't melt and liquify,it would just vaporize.
Not all molecules can become liquid.

I did this in 7th grade. Put some wood in a test toob and caped it off with a one hole stoper. Ran a hose from the hole in the stoper to a test toob packed in ice and put some fire under the toob with the wood in it. The wood got hot and gave off a gas that when it was cooled in the toob in the ice turned into wood-alcohol.
If you try this dont drink it wood-alcohol will blind you.
I like a joke as much as the next guy but this is what you will get if you heat wood without letting it burn.
