What you're trying to build is called a "gasifier stove." They're very different from the "
rocket stove" designs discussed on this site. Both systems are designed to produce intense heat by burning the volatile gasses released in wood smoke. The main differences are:
1) Gasifier stoves are much smaller than rocket stoves - suitable for camping rather than for a permanent living situation (with larger sizes being too dangerous to attempt); and,
2) Gasifier stoves must go out before more fuel can be added. With rocket stoves this is unnecessary.
