Answer

Canned heat is an idiom of sorts meaning a lots of potential energy in a small or contained vessel. The person can also be described as ultra-cool. The term has shown up in the lyrics of some recent songs.

It originally comes from a camping item used to heat up food etc. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterno-Portable-Folding-Stove/20434298

Answer

They are both alive because they have oxygen. I have no idea about the canned heat man part except that it seems to be part of a long nickname for Sam. ... It seems like it's a part of a larger text?
