In the outer space there isn't any oxygen, so a piece of wood heated by the Sun could be incinerate the same? considering that the part of the piece of wood lighted by the Sun would be very hot and the part in the shadow would be frost, what would happen to it? Thanks.

it would ablate, eventually becoming a gas as the side facing the sun was heated so much that the compounds in the wood all vaporized.

A piece of wood needs oxigen in order to combust. Without oxigen there is no reduction.
If a astronauts were to travel in space and exposed to solar wind he would not survive the radiation of the Solar wind.
In the case of wood its atoms may increase in volume and the state of the wood might change.

Actually, the heat would turn it to charcoal through gasification.
