I am pretty sure when I went through the gas chamber there was an open flame cooking the stuff... They used a bunson burner to light it up.

Yep, similiar to what I experienced in basic training in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. They burned it in a tin pie plate over a bunson burner in the gas hut.
I didn't find it all that bad. We were marched in with gas masks on...then told to remove them. I breathed shallow and kept my eyes squinted enough with tears to keep the worst of the gas out. When we finally exited the gas hut, I sat down on the grass and lit a smoke.
