Too bad there’s no picture… Is the opening through which you light the fire at the level of the air nozzle? Or do you push the pieces of glowing charcoal directly into the air nozzle’s intake area?

Giorgio, I like your design. The start up valve bypass is great. I will add that to my filter that has the same water bubbler to filter out the char dust. Mine uses hay for its medium for filtering the charcoal gases.

foto upload works again, thank you chris saenz for adjusting…!!
the hopper ignition port works fine, so hopper level must not digged out till nozzle height for another ignition…only leaving the dust from the hearth area. doing this there remains a “bridge” of fuel thanks to the compactness of the hopper load by vibrations…poking than down the coal and igniting the coal at the igniting port…as i have positive pressure with my blower the glowing coal in the igniting port must be pushed with the coal pusher to the nozzle tip - see picture 1 left side
