the thing that sets dragon stoves apart from every other stove design i've worked with is the ease of making it carbon negative.
i put wood bits into the stove, i fire it, six hours later i take charcoal out. that is literally removing carbon from the cycle, while heating my house. just put it a pile it'll stay charcoal for a very long time.
but no need to just pile it up. charcoal is *useful*.
