In the absence of a fuel, the salt will appear to boil and bubble.
Decomposition will not deflagrate or explode.
Keep it in a test tube or ceramic dish, away from most metals and other compounds.
I dont think directly heating in a mapp flame would be any less safe that indirect heating.
This is a dangerous procedure, but can be done safely.
Sticking your finger into the molten salt will cause it to deflagrate, spilling some on yourself will have the same effect.
Here is 3 grams of molten KClO3 and 3 grams of gummy worm.

Thanks a lot for your reply and a video.
I was thinking of decomposing it in a stainless steel crucible, starting with very small amounts and wearing PPE. What could go wrong?
