I was watching a you tube video on the first hot air balloons on nature's lost vault. A thought came while watching it has anybody tried to use a rocket stove to propel a hot air balloon?

Hot air balloons use liquid propane to power them.

I feel a rocket stove would require too much fuel and would weight down the balloon.
