I agree, it the grass is dry enough to burn it would burn up before the water could boil. I would recommend to run it on Meths or Esbit .

I had a accident with grass a MSS loco and meths once
While running me MSS loco at cheddar a peice of grass got caught on the wheel and got set on fire by the meths burner then it went up into the cab and set fire to all the meths vapours in the cab
