Airflow. Blow on it. Bellows. Fan.

Add an airflow.

Increased air flow and combined with harder wood or charcoal/coal as fuel. A better insulated furnace chamber would help as well.

There are three things needed for a fire: fuel (wood), heat (matches) and oxygen (airflow). Increase the airflow.

Use plenty of hardwood like pecan, cherry and oak for hotter fires and open up lots of airflow

@lisaperson Spread out your fuel and block or limit the airflow.

Airflow control is my best friend when grilling ocer charcoal or wood fire, or even for low and slow (180° F, more or less).
