I'm thinking of ways to collect it as an alternative fuel someday

yes but the half-life or in your case the shelf-life of FART or Flammable Analgas Retention Technology is short compared to most other biofuels such as hu-manure. FARTs are only good on average for several minutes. The crux of the winding path of this alternative fuel remains in finding a way to suspend rapid aerosol decomposition and still retain its flammability.

Methane is flammable. A story was in the paper a few years ago about a farmer who put a tank on the back of his truck and ran the truck off of methane from chicken poop.

Yes methane gas is highly flammable.....hoping you're not going to create a weapon of mass destruction!!! (even without the spark, it could cause harm to lots of innocent bystanders! - lol)

Yeah if you store enough its flammable allright .
It contains mainly (CH4) Methane and H2S (Hydrogen Sulphide)which are flammable in nature.

yes it is very flammable(even in small quantities), but i'm fairly sure it's cheaper to make it in a chemical plant then it is to use your butt!

yes
it has large quantity of methane formed due to decomposition of plant(as well as animal ) matter
