Barocook heaters with german M31 mess kit?

I was wondering if you could use the barocook heaters in the old 3 piece German military mess kits. Seems you could drop a heater with water in the main saucepan, set the second bowl/cup inside with the food, and then put the lid/pan on top. Does the heater give off noxious fumes? Would the good need to be in a bag or package to avoid the gasses from the heater? Would MRE heaters be better? I’m just toying with the idea rather than going out and buying a plastic barocook kit.

    Also I realize that an issue could be pressure but seems you could just turn the lid/pan right side up and place it on top of the mess kit. It seals but isn’t remotely tight. Like laying a flat plastic plate on top. Seems any pressure would easily push up on the lid and escape.
