Just completed building our first Fogão a Lenha – i.e. Brazilian wood burning cooking stove. With a hint of the rocket mass heater / stove thrown in.

Flames showing that heat and smoke are drawn along the stove to the chimney

Fire from the entranceway can be felt on the third ring in – drawn along by the draught from the chimney.
We like it!
