Crispin,

 

            The link is an interesting and fine combination out of so many
outdoor-stoves. I like the idea of this stove as  a camper.

It re-ignites an old idea, that I had  a lot of time ago:

 

How about:

- To introduce into the hole in the bottom an axle bearing just a simple
axial rotor?

The other axle of the rotor with bearing in another sheet-metal-plate with
some peri-central holes to suck fresh air from (under this plate and by that
) under the stove.

-The downside end of the axle bearing a belt-pulley to get the rotor moving
somehow in a simply manner.

 The rest for getting the rotor moving is simple to manage; even with
low-(est)-tech.

-Possibly a screen above (under the wind-wheel-shaped) bottom plate to
protect the rotor against charcoal/ashes-fall.

 

The rotor could be driven permanently during stove-run,  or simply in
critical burning conditions, e.g. in the beginning or by refuelling.

 

Thanks Crispin for the link, and

To Donald Kevilus for  the stove-idea !
 
Regards
Martin
