Some people build stands for the sticks to rest on, but I've seen photos with a lot of wear on metal wire style stick holders, and some of them with the stick holding supports are too broken to be useful, or discarded entirely. Some like the Ecocina has a large lip where the sticks are supposed to rest that's integrated with the stove body. Plancha stoves are also made more stable by building them into a long support, that also supports the fuel. It could be that the preference for charcoal is more of a preference for uniform, 'easy' to handle fuel, since most of the popular charcoal stoves are relatively small and the fuel chamber is fairly stable.
