They burn amazingly well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I tried this after I noticed how much oil resulted from crushing a walnut. A half a nut burned like a candle for between two and three minutes. Between the oil and the porous meat, it's like nature's own vaseline-soaked cotton ball. And they come in their own handy water-tight packaging!
Not good for fire starting due to the high ignition temperature of the oil (though I didn't try a ferrocerium rod on it), but once you expose it to an open flame and get it going the amount of energy in there is just amazing.

Hmm, I think I would eat it before it ever got lite!

Corn chips - such as Fritos - burn well also due to the oil content. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I would think that any oil bearing item would burn, such as peanuts possibly or tater chips. I HAVE heard of the Frito fire chips though.

C4 does a good job of heating a can of beans. Seriously.

After a little further research, it releases poisonous fumes when burnt. Don't do it. I was an idiot.

Oh and of course it's poisonous, burning plastic emits toxic gasses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> EVERYBODY knows that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
