Yeah it would cost you a fortune in solid fuel wouldn't it Adam?
Can't you buy burner trays to fit? Although they are poor quality!

Does it require much power then? Or is it all about speed?

bit of both, but trying to hold the mm2 and pump without getting burned became a bit hectic and the pump sprayed all over the place, i would have got away with it but forgot the dog, he was soaked as he tried to catch the water
