I think it is also based on pyrolysis principle. When i was in India, we developed the charcoal making unit based exactly on what u have described below David G. Levine 


How did you measure the temperature? Perceived wisdom is that you
cannot exceed the adiabatic flame temperature, which for wood is less
than 2000C or have I missed something? Could it be possible to get
higher with some heat recycling?
