Although the water and volatile matter would evaporate in the vacuum, the long cellulose fibers in wood would strongly inhibit wood's transition to the liquid state. Heat might break the carbonyl bonds in cellulose, leaving behind carbon in charcoal form or carbon dioxide.

AdityaShishpal: but we can do it by use of a lazer which is basically concentration of light
AdityaShishpal: *rays
AdityaShishpal: oxy. is only needed to support burning
AdityaShishpal: iron doesnt melt in presence of oxy
AdityaShishpal: i was just curious so i asked
