So what happens after I transform an iron door to wood, chop it up into firewood, burn it, then the concentration wears off?

The better question is: Why would you want to know?

No. Not really. That's not a better question at all.

Well, that entirely comes down on the DM's decision. I would allow it to burn, being that you did turn it into wood, but, at the end of the concentration, it would turn into charred iron shavings.

Other DMs might rule against or for this, given how they want to handle it. I can see some having a problem with you just reducing an iron door to ash, but that's really entirely within the realm of possibility if the door has been magically reconstituted into wood. One might argue that when the door is burned, some of its contents are changed, no longer being targetable by the spell, so the rest of it would return to iron.

You end up with a pile of iron oxide? Or alternately a pile of ash rendered lovingly in iron. Or alternately the original door. And possibly a different one of those three each time you do it.

I would go with a pile of rust, it's effectively the same transformation the wood went through.
