Fire dragon

I know there are many difficulties in the problem of dinosaurs in regard to their blood temperature. What I was thinking…
What are the possibilities of a kind of furniture in an animal? Burning wood, is it giving enough energy? Can you regulate the temperature? Can it answer maybe some questions, or is it only throwing up more?
In the eyepoint of evolution theory it is undeclarable, I know. But how big are the other problems?

Aah, I really like this idea of a real fire breathing dinosaur.

Let me guess - you've been watching the movie "reign of fire" lately?

If you did not yet do so, you might want to check out available data about the bombardier beetle. I admit I'm no biologist, but I could imagine very well that a modified version of this little critter's special ability would enable a living creature to "breathe fire"...

No, I didn't, thanks for the hints.
