And would it be possible to melt wood into a puddle in the right conditions?

When wood heats up it releases gasses that ignite because its natural. When all the gas is used up it turns to ash.

When metal heats up it doesn’t particularly release any molecules, the bonds between each of the metal atoms gets weaker so they can move and slide over each other, making it liquid.
