Nice design, but WAY to much work to build in my book for something that gonna burn up. Wood chips would be hard due to there inconsistent size but not impossible. i think it would work in a 6+ inch system or bigger to help keep the wood chips from jamming up?

I have been brainstorming about how to do it.     At the present time I simply line the outer walls of my stove with wood chips and in the center use regular twigs to get it kicked off.

Another thing I have seen done is to use a stainless steel dish drainer and burn them like a TLUD stove.      

I have been thinking about making strings with ceramic fiber and then dipping them in sodium silicate to make it rock hard then make the design of the screen shown above.

Yep you have to do what works for you.
