To make wood gas (which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) you heat wood chips in an container where there is little or no oxygen to the point where they blacken and give off their gas.
To do this (in a safe place outside) put an old metal kettle on a camping gas stove, fill it with dry sawdust and put on the lid. Turn on the stove gas and after a time fumes will come out of the kettle spout (these fumes will burn if ignited). The fumes are wood gas and soot particles (to make pure wood gas the soot needs to be removed).
It is possible to run a car on wood gas.

Is wood a solid that can turn into gas?
No. Wood will combust (or burn) when it reaches a high enough temperature. Heat and light are released as many of the carbon compounds in the wood are oxidized into Carbon Dioxide gas. But there is no such thing as a wood gas, in and of itself. Keep in mind that wood is composed of many compounds, not one compound.
