There are several alchemical texts that refer to tin salt as fuel for "ever-burners" or lamps that always stay lit, although it was proven that these lamps only light when they come in contact with air, so that when a door is opened, the lamp lights at once, giving the illusion that it's been lit ever since it was placed there. So in conclusion, tin salt, if extracted correctly, should in fact, burn when in contact with air.
Here is one text that gives a wonderful explanation of this:
