Hi Steve, not really, the ends were 90 degrees, but its worth testing your idea! There would be more air caught in between as i understand, might help even more. It would burn down eventually, but the most problematic part is the starting and when you insert a new briquette - its also the coldest at the time
All you need to make it, is a cone-shaped disc when pressing, it shouldn't be too difficult with the right tools, even simplest ones - like smith's anvil in the shape of a cone..
