I'm not saying that a standard blaster causes things to magically become combustible. What I'm saying is that the Death Star main cannon, which appears to be a significantly different type of weapon from "standard" blasters, appears to destroy planets from some form of internal reaction.

It looks to be a laser. It has never been hinted that it causes chain reactions. So we can't assume it does.
