The adding of fuel whilst maintaining a near constant cross section
for air to pass does effectively change the air:fuel ratio. The air
supply is constricted to passing along the horizontal section to the
combustion chamber. With an open fire the secondary air is entrained
all around the fire by the up draught created by combustion gases
rising.
