We’ve been fans of BioLite’s CampStove since it was still a design concept. It’s great to see teh latest production model at OR. Remember, this stove generates electricity (4w peak) that runs a fan to ensure that all of the fuel is burned. Excess electricity can be used to charge small items like mobile devices.
They’ve also introduced a Portable Grill accessory that fits right on to the top of the CampStove.
I was one of the first also to admire there concept almost 3 years before they started production! I bought one of the first available per-order runs and I can only say it is Light years ahead of any stove. It starts easier than a gas stove and put as much heat out as the average top of the line MSR gas stove like a whisper light. Best feature is it doesnt require fuel but puts out a hot blue flame with 0 smoke. Secondly it is able to power a light just with the thermoelectric module in the unit that powers electric with heat. This electric also runs a 2 speed fan to turn the average fire into a Glass blowing furnace. Same concept. Forced air to a flame and you got a torch! This should of been developed 10 years ago with todays technology. Also check out the Power pot. Same Idea but in a pot. That will also power 5 watt USB goods.
