No - most of its mass will be converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor and a few other chemicals. Think about a fire... all that's left afterwards is the ashes, which don't weigh nearly as much as the wood that went into the fire originally. All that weight has been turned into gases which carried away in the air.
In a closed container the mass of reactants (wood) and products (carbon dioxide, water, ash) remain unchanged; this is the low of mass conservation.
When wood is burned, the carbon in the wood combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide, leaving behind black carbon residue known as charcoal. This is why the wood turns black when burned.
When wood burns, essentially organic molecules within the wood is oxidized into carbon dioxide, among other oxidized carbon forms. The various oxidized carbon forms are mainly gases and is released into the atmosphere. Because after the wood is burned out, the majority of the organic material has been converted into the gases, much of the wood's mass is lost.
Ash is left over when wood is burned in a fireplace. Ash is the residue that remains after the combustion process, consisting mostly of mineral content from the wood.
A chunk of wood burned in a fireplace is commonly referred to as a "log." Logs are used as fuel to create heat and light in a fireplace.
When wood is burned, the mass of the products (such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash) is equal to the mass of the reactants, which include the wood and oxygen. This is in accordance with the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Although the physical form of the substances changes, the total mass remains constant throughout the reaction.
That is a law, specifically the law of conservation of mass. This states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical change. This was proved in Lavosier's experiment where he determined that the total lass of the products formed by burning were equal to the mass of the matter burned and oxygen consumed.

When burned for fuel, wood releases about 3,800 to 4,800 calories per pound.
NO
wood We burned wood in the camp fire. The table is made of wood.
All wood can be burned. Wood is largely cellulose, and cellulose is combustible. Sap, tar, or pitch in wood will also burn. Certainly we can treat wood to minimize its combustion potential, but all wood can be burned in a hot enough fire.
Charcoal?
When wood is burned, the carbon in the wood combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide, leaving behind black carbon residue known as charcoal. This is why the wood turns black when burned.
Wood can be burned without using a torch by using a match or lighter to ignite it. The heat from the flame will start the combustion process, causing the wood to burn.
a closed system will not gain or lose mass
