BioLite Stove

BioLite StoveBioLite is an affordable, ultra low emission, wood burning cook stove that cuts wood consumption in half, reduces smoke emissions by 95% and nearly eliminates black carbon. But it doesn’t just burn wood. It also consumes pine cones, underbrush, pellets, rice husks and even dung.

BioLite uses wood gassifier technology combined with a fan that is powered by the conversion of heat generated by the stove to electricity through the use of a Thermoelectric Generator made from solid state semi-conductor elements. The use of woodgas has been around for years and converts the combustible elements of wood into a highly efficient flammable gas by super heating the wood.

While the BioLite stove was developed for use in developing nations that do not have regular access to electricity or petroleum based fuels, it would be great for military personnel or other who must live off the land. The item above is a developmental model but a personal version should be available soon.
