Farenheit 451 is not a constant for all things organic. All of this
depends on many things. Some organic fuels light at lower temperatures.
Others such as carbon require much hotter temperatures . The kindling
temperature of paper appears to depend on its clay content. The more
clay the more heat it seems to take to make the papers combustion self
supporting. Teflon is organic but does not burn at 451. This discussion
should include an authoritative definition of flash point as well as
kindling temperature if there is a difference. Something I am not
competent to give. Heating something slowly to 451 is different than
heating it quickly as when you heat it slowly, with some things such as
paper you drive off the more volatile and easier to burn components
first. When you finally reach your normal combustion temperature there
is not much to burn.

different things will melt , freeze, light at different temps.
I once saw somebody light a fart (methane mostly) with a lighter, I really doubt it was 1200F.
