Because you are using the Reed-Larson design from 1995, your comments 
are out of
date.  Modern charcoal making stoves (better known as T-LUDs) like Reed's
Campstove and the Champion stove produce high temperatures where the gases are
combusted, have great turbulance, and have CO and PM much lower (about 50%
lower?) than Rocket-elbow stoves.
