Every boyscout out ther will tell you "THIS IS A GADGET"But the thing is.. the thing works, and works surprisingly well.Most of all, the turbo charged burning of twigs is almost worth it in its own right.But the build in storage for extra amp hours.. well what not to like, we all have a smartphone.Don't let your imagination get carried away, the BioLite stove will not charge your laptop. its a smartphone maintainer and borderline if there are more than one desperate for a full charge. sooo. make friends, charge 75% and let the next have a sip of the good stuff. remember the last 10% takes way longer to charge as thats maintainance charging mostly.BioLite have a deeper mission and provide larger stoves to developing countries, the website mention having reached 3.5 million users.. I don't really imagine there have been made 3.5 million biolite stoves yet.. so maybe thats a "number of people impacted" by one family having a stove kinda figure? not sure.BUT BUT BUT.. I shipped one to a friend who is a farmer along a river in Thailand, the quick small fire ability and providing a charge for the phone.. well dang. they love the stove. I feel good having provided it. and I truly belive this is a product that ought to be much more available in developing countries. the price may be a bit steep. but honestly, BioLite actually being involved, I can pay a little extra for a proper bit of gear, and sleep a little better knowing a bit of my purcahse have made somebody elses life a little better as well.Still - its a gadget - but it works -

Best camp stove on the market.

I bought this a couple of years ago and was just now able to actually test this due to living conditions/the lovely state of Massachusetts where people call the police over who’s leaves are in one another’s yard, but back to the review. One thing I really like about it is how it uses the heat from the fire to produce electricity and its ability to store that power to double as a battery bank. The battery bank uses a regular usb outlet so you can charge a wide range of devices with it between GPS, phones, radios, watches, literally anything that uses USB. Also, it shows how hot the fire is burning, how much electricity you have stored, and the fan speed. It does carry some weight behind it but not so much as to be a pain. Another thing that is nice, is that there is a fan that automatically turns on once there is enough heat. You can control the fan speed, just keep in mind that the faster the fan speed is, the hotter the fire will burn, which means the more fuel you will have to burn. However, with the fan on the coals burn down to ash and the heat shield helps keep the pit itself relatively warm to the touch temperature. Depending on your tolerance to heat you would be able to pick it up, dump the ash into a hole, and pack it up in a short amount of time. It packs up nice into a slime stuff sack so packing it is no trouble at all. One thing to note for the prepared is that there is some sound from the fan, it’s not too bad. All the videos that I watched made the sound of the fan seem far louder than it actually is. One thing that I would have like to see is the ability to add fuel either wood pellets or sticks/twigs without having to take your pot/pan/cup off the top and have to wait for the sticks/twigs to burn down (depending on length, I would ink go more than about 6 inches) but I’m not even sure this would be able to be done without a complete redesign. If you get the grill attachment this wont be an issue but I could see this being an issue for some like myself who try to not over pack and bring only what is needed. But other than the slight bit of noise from the fan and no feeding slot without the grill attachment. I find this to be a great piece of gear for those who want a piece of equipment that can produce electricity while also providing heat and means of cooking and boiling water.
