a fuel chamber portion comprising an upper wall portion defining a perimeter edge of the fuel chamber portion and a floor defining a bottom end, the floor extending from the upper wall portion to an opening in the floor,
wherein the fuel chamber portion is oriented to hold fuel; and
a conduit portion, disposed below the floor, comprising a channel space through the conduit portion so as to facilitate passage of smoke from the fuel chamber portion through at least one aperture that extends from the channel space through a wall of the conduit portion so that, when the fuel in the fuel chamber portion is ignited, the channel facilitates flow of smoke downward from the fuel chamber portion through the aperture.
