My experience of doing that is that the tin can burnt through after about 3 firings, but uninsulated will last much longer and still be an effective stove. It is also perfectly possible to obtain some char at least from a rocket, especially if the stove is extinguished after use by removing unburnt wood and snuffing it in a tin with a lid along with all the remaining char. My StoveTech rocket can actually liberate similar amounts, sometimes more char that way then my Reed TLUDs, and mine is not even the char making version. Not so relevant in the Phillipines right now, but by using an old kettle BBQ as a fire bowl with the bottom half filled with earth, after the fire has died down, by placing the lid on and sealing the little vent with earth this liberates a bucket full of char.
