A brief search comes up with the info that the Greek Fire had to be heated prior to deployment, and that weather conditions had to be nearly perfect so as to not blow the fire back at the user. In all accounts, fhe fire is held in ceramic jars. You've got heated, flammable material in ceramic, as well as a risk of burning yourself. The Greek Fire isn't looking too good as a weapon.
