That was good of you, I think, to take the initiative and go straight to the source with the information in this thread. Also: Interesting reply regarding the carbon monoxide.

I'm thinking.... if a person burned enough Sterno.... say in a van... in the summertime.... and the resulting carbon dioxide were to solidify, hence forming dry ice.... would that have a cooling effect? Thinking (this type of thinking is just wrong!) a little more.... if Sterno were burned... in a van... in the wintertime.... would we be creating heat? ... or dry ice?

Ok. Enough thinking. Thanks for the email from Sterno.
