What is the flashpoint of poop?

It depends on the temperature of the feces and the freshness. Fresh warm feces is rich in methane (CH4) which is highly flammable would have a flash point of about -186 Celsius. The methane releases as the feces cools and dries which is where the composition of the feces comes in. Dry ambient temperature feces will have variable flash point depending on what the depositor last ate before passing the feces. A grass fed animal's feces will have a flash point around 120 degrees Celsius, where as human feces from an individual with a "meat and potato" diet would be approximately 280 degrees Celsius.
