I don't know if the "thermite grenade" is designed to scatter burning thermite or not. If *NOT* put it in a crucible such that the crucible will hold the molten iron and help distribute the heat inside the space without letting it build up in one spot and burn through the floor. You might need a graphite crucible and you might also need a fire brick under the crucible. You might also need to reduce the "charge" inside the granade.
