Here is another test where I took my basic stove but added a fan. This is the 2nd test because the first time I used 12 volts on the fan which then supplied so much air that the stove got red hot on the top. So hot that it burned away the J-B Weld that I used. BTW the fan itself did not get hot from the stove because it blows away the heat.
Thats not a wood gas stove, Thats a camp fire in a can with a little fan acting as a bellows you got there.
The concept of the wood gas stove is that in essence its like an engine, It reburns its own exhaust, that is what makes it burn clean without much smoke or flames shooting out, The flames, smoke, embers and everything are kept swirling inside the can, All that exscapes is the heat thru the top but no flames should be shooting out of the thing.
The fan you have in the bottom ruins it.
If you design the extension part like a rocket nozzle ^ with a good sized opening the fire will come out more streamlined and focused..imho.

This way you can use the stove without the fan if you elevate the can so it can get air through the bottom.
