Nolbert,
A few things that may make the stove more functional.
Have you tried to cut the wood into smaller lengths and laying then
horizontally? It will fire up a lot faster. There will be enough gaps for
the air to flow up from the bottom.
Also you could install a port near the top to add more fuel
If you can add more wood as you go, you could start with less wood to do
smaller cooking task or add wood to extend the cooking time.
Then you could shorten the bottom section of the stove, because you don't
need that much storage, and lengthen the top mixing section to get better
mixing so the flames do not extend too far above the stove. Combustion
should be almost complete below the pot.
You may need to allow more air through the bottom so you will have enough
heat to ignite the wood you add. This may burn more of the charcoal but that
is OK, you will still be able to save a good bit of charcoal.
Are you trying to save charcoal? If not burn it and use less wood.
