Great story Paal. That's exactly the size I first tried in 1979. 

Thanks

During 2nd ww some soldiers was trapped at a sawmill in France some where, 
and after awhile the only they had for fuel was sawdust. They stamped a 10 
litre bucket with sawdust. with a 2" stick vertical in the middle and a 2" 
stick in bottom  for air intake and ignited in the cannel.I trod it in the 
Peko Pe in Uganda in 96 and it works. A 200 litre barrel with sawdust was 
burning 8 hours with a 4" air channel and glowing another 5-6 hour
