Why won't wood from a tree hit by lightning burn in a wood heater?

This should not be the case. It sounds like an urban legend. Wood (cellulose) is a flammable hydrocarbon and an electrical insulator due to its closed dry plant cells. There would be no change to the chemical structure of the wood from electricity that flowed through the conductive phloem and xylem cells. The lightning itself could easily burn a tree due to the immense heat of the electric arc generated. Then, of course, it could not be burned again.
