Can an object that is on fire set another object on fire if the second object has a higher combustion point than the first?

If this is a dumb question or doesn't belong here please excuse my ignorance. As I understand it wood has a ignition point of around 150 degrees. Does that mean the fire itself is burning at 150 and therefore could only light something with a similar ignition point?

The ignition point is how hot it gets before it catches fire. The energy density tells you how much energy it produces, which you could use to figure out how hot it would burn. If objects could only set fire to things with lower ignition points, then you'd only burn the part of the wood that has a lower ignition point than it does where you light it.
