No. This might surprise you but anything that burns has to first evaporate. It is the vapor that burns.

Solids and liquids can indeed burn you if they are really hot.

In fact only burnable vapors and gasses can burn.
That is why in cars are carburetors: they evaporate the liquid fuel.
When wood is heated, burnable vapors come out and they burn!

Yes and to make it even clearer drop a piece of sodium (Na) into a glass of water(H2O) and watch it burn.

yes, most of them do, but some melt or evaporate. Such as metals.
