Try cross-ply tyres they burn much cleaner.

Old gaiters out of split rim commercial wheels , burn well and don't leave the wire in the fire .

I was in one of our local Tractor Supply stores (way over priced stuff), and spotted coal on sale, so snapped a pix :

The larch could be handy when you're entertaining. Nice fire in the background for some ambience without turning the place into a sauna.

There's always sea coal, wakes the dogs up sometimes spitting small stones onto them.

They prefer to though it out, but smell of the singed fur can be a bit irritating.

I used to.list gypsy stoves on ebay for 2 guys who made them but did not like painting them.
Then they stopped suddenly. No unusual for them. They could sell as many transporter beds as they could make but got fed up and stopped.

What's the crack with gypsy stoves I can't see any on Facebook (used to be loads round here) or on ebay.

I use tiger Tim fire lighters. Just one litte sachet and a normal match. Buy them on Ebay much cheaper that way.

My gran years ago had a gas poker, are they still around, not seen one in 60 years. I can’t see why one wouldn’t run off a propane bottle.

top air flow set too low or has been shut off causes what you are seeing as the top air flow is your airwash system

also the cause early on is also wood against glass or still getting up too temperature

the screen normally clears on a second good fire up when system is set right
