I have made a new burner for the camp stove and added a bottom. I made the fuel magazine wider at the opening to better slide crooked sticks. Then it funnels to a 3" square burn zone. I was able to get a clear burn with damp sticks along with a large 2" dia stick. I also tried some wood that I dried in the oven at 275 degF but the sticks burned too fast and smoked. I finally got a clean burn by only using two 1" sq sticks an blocking off the air flow through fuel magazine. It took 23.5 ounces of this too dry wood to bring 6 liters of 60 degF water to a boil in 18 min from a cold start. I will make more improvements later after I build a 2 pot African stove with Dean Still.
