Do you think it would be charred inside?
But as you say its cheap enough to experiment with
Have not worked out the capacity yet, but should be roughly 15Lish????

you could certainly pull it apart and give it a char, the head comes out easily with a little care :handgestures-thumbupleft:

sorry fj i was busy in my workshop, I dont really know but a quick peak inside would answer that...for the price, if it was near me, it would be gonesky...zoink into my storage collection and a little tap here and there and if it wasn't, it would be. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
