Or put in another way - why are you certain that adding solid fuel to the chemical science pack was the wrong approach?
It also crafts much faster and requires less gas than solid fuel.
Finally, it will inspire the distribution of solid sulfur to more places than before, with creative benefits. Solid fuel already had a role in extensive fuel distribution systems, along with being an ingredient in rocket fuel.
