Assuming no oxygen is around could we melt wood?

In addition to what others have said, some pure substances of only one molecule type, such as in the case of dry ice aka frozen solid carbon dioxide, does not have a liquid stage.
It is called sublimation when a substance directly transitions from a solid to a gas state, and while that is not quite what wood is going through when it is heated into charcoal, the point is that not everything “melts” into a liquid form above its solid state temperature.
