Hello Alex, and welcome.
You have a supply of dry wood so I recommend a tlud (Top Lit Up Draft). I recommend starting small.
I started by making a camping stove. Next a three coffee can unit for producing charcoal for my barbecue, just because my neighbor gave me a bunch of apple wood. Last a 50 gallon unit to make charcoal for my 3KW gen set.
Maybe the best thing I made was an afterburner that allows me to make very little smoke.
