removed the bottom part, and added a 55 Gal drum



Saw this guys design on youtubes, I rly like that I found people doing very similar things to what I kinda envisioned as a possibility, although he was having some problems:


Then I found this guys (very many) videos. These are great as they come from an understanding of physics and how to apply the concepts simply.. Really more than I could have hoped for in finding simple answers for this project, reinvigorating my ideas with new hacks for optimisition


So I took some more measurements for air flow above the burn tube, and realised the burn tube was touching the drum... not good. So I can optimise area above the burn tube, and also create an air channel below the wood fuel, to help the burn in the burn tube/ burn chamber.
