Downdraft rocket stove

Basically, the traditional rocket stove is built like a Jetstream. Would it be possible to turn the rocket stove into a downdraft gasifier?

I am even curious as to what would happen if you narrowed the end of the feed tube on a J. Would the stove even work?

try looking at these vids these are old systems that did use downdraft cooking

is it possible for use with anything that burns yes even this uses it

but take note of the handle that they move

Thanks for the links, gadily.  I guess I am thinking more of the burn chamber underneath the feed tube/box, similar to the Wittus.

Has anyone built a downdraft rocket?  I have seen one before on youtube.

Narrowed. Have only a small opening leading to the next chamber on a J tube. The other thought I had is what if you added secondary air either before or after that point. Maybe it wouldn't work at all?

Look for a caotropheus fellow in youtube and take a look at his videos...
