A simple experiment to prove or disprove whether salt dissociates in a fire is as follows:
1: Build a little bonfire
2: Stretch a copper wire over it. If there is no green flame color, then there is no chlorine present.
3: Remove the wire, and sprinkle some salt on the fire.
4: Replace the wire. If the flame turns green, then the salt was dissociated, and chlorine was liberated.

Best wishes,

Kevin

Salt does not diassociate under temperature, requires electrolysis to break the bonds. Tom Taylor

Thanks to "bjorn" for his info on table salt, a ubiquitous but overlooked

item in the dioxins scene.
