Like I suggested earlier, the lava rocks soak up the oils, and the fire slowly heats the rocks until the oil expands out of the pores and burns.

My fire box is much smaller as my stove is a midget compared to his
Shoe size box is about the size of my entire fire box! Except that it is quite deep for a shoe box.
I would probably have to suspend a lava rock or two above the point of flames and ash to dupliate his method.
