The J-tube has been found to be more efficient in combustion, it self-feeds as long as the sticks in the feed tube last, and its ergonomics are better adapted to typical American stand-at-the-stove practice. (Cooks in third world countries the rocket stove was developed for tend to squat at the fire to cook.)
What I mean by L shape is the bench part not the stove. Example... start at the NW corner of wall go south the length of a couch and then go east the length of a couch, L shape.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Yes, you can make any shape bench that fits your space, as long as you remember that every 90 degree elbow reduces the duct length by about 5'. If you would need a very complicated duct route, you might be better off with half-barrel bells in the bench instead of ducting.
