Related to burning coal in the rocket stove, I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience burning charcoal in the Spitfire Patrol rocket stove made in China available on Amazon. It is surprisingly well made and of heavy gauge stainless steel. It has a grate in the feeder chute however is designed to burn wood. The reason I ask is that I live in the extreme southwest of Arizona in the Sonoran desert where naturally occurring wooden sticks on the ground are essentially nonexistent and charcoal is easier to come by.
Other than charcoal burning less efficiently, can I still cook food with it and is there any danger? Any reply appreciated.
