[Stoves] Charcoal Stove Flames Video 55 seconds

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Cornelio,

I did not detect a double-walled container.  What is the construction, please?

The flame seemed to "wander" around, but with a hot spot on the left 
side where
perhaps air was getting in a little earlier than at the very top.
