If you so wish to believe...

The problem is that there is no air to carry away the heat so that whole setup becomes like a miniature greenhouse. Without some active way to cool it eventually you'd cook.

Heat can transfer via Conduction, Convection and Radiation. The vacuum of space may prevent the first two, but not loss of heat via Radiation. Infrared radiation to be precise. The heat loss is very slow, so yes at times it would be a miniature greenhouse.
