Thermal decomposition of this product produces irritating vapors and toxic gases (e.g.
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of sodium....from here.....

When heated you might get methane, though I am not sure. logic suggests that NaOH might well be one by-product when acetate is heated because you
can't isolate Na metal it has to become an oxide or hydroxide, hence a bit of methane might be possible because you can make methane from NaOH and
sodium acetate.

You might get some acetone out of it.
