I can't say that I've ever burned nitro-methane outside
of my engines.

I have used some old spirit-duplicator fluid to start
fires.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a gallon of burning
nitro-methane, let alone multi-gallons of the stuff.

I grant you that it doesn't spontaneously combust.
But it sure would contribute a kick to any fire that
got started in the vicinity.

YMMV.
