It's about 3 inches by 4 inches by an inch, yes you can but why when you'd not get enough wood in to actually be of use?
Oh, and hot, as this is a pretty good piece of kit for a camping or an emergency when there are no other ways to heat things up.

They're a pig to light if it's anything but a still day.

They are good in the fact that they are reliable but in all honesty:
- they stink out your kit in your bag,
- take an age to light,
- take an age to boil water,
- cover you mess tins/ pans in horrible carbon deposits.
If you want something proper I recommend the Campinggaz gas stoves. They're very reliable, gas lasts about a week of daily use and the gas can be disconnected for easy travel.

Agree with all this, but they are still best for hiking due to their size/weight. I also have a meths burner made from the bottom of a coke can that weighs about 25g which is great, but then you need to carry a bottle of meths and fashion a pot rest & wind break at each stop.
If weight isn't an issue then the portable hobs are fine, even better I used a Cadac mini chef last weekend which worked brilliantly.
They did a good job of cooking with a small pot.

you cant take gas stoves to festivals. only solid fuel.
so this deal is hot in the festival season.
and it took me about 3-4 minutes to boil water for the 3 cups of tea ;)
They say not to do that anymore as Hexi is poisonous. That's why in the army it has a seperate slot inside the utility pouch I think.
