Well I rebuilt the stove today. It worked much better what I did was make a smaller shape with a double opening on the front and put a piece of chicken mesh in the middle of the double opening and I lit a fire in the chimney part to get it warmed up. I then placed a 90 degree piece of stove pipe on the top and put sticks in from the front of the stove and it worked. I'm now putting some mud all around it. I plan on making a j tube stove at some point.
