Don't forget about radiant heat! There's a pretty much perfect insulator between the sun and Earth conduction-wise, yet it is still pretty cozy up here.

That's fair, I don't know how to calculate this but my naive assumption is a burning pack won't radiate enough to combust something 1 meter away if there's circulating air around.
