Fire as paint remover?

So I had this frame that someone had repainted. Poorly. I started to strip it with paint stripper. I used both Kwik-Strip in the blue can and Jasco in the red can with so-so results. It was taking forever and using a lot of product. So I said "Screw this" and made a fire in the fire pit and threw it in. I then went section by section and the paint came off like butter with steel wool. I was done in an hour. So...my question is...why don't I strip every frame like this? It was so easy and essentially free. See before and after photos. First photo is with paint stripper frustration. Second photo is after melting the paint off in the fire.
