Biolite has long been out front in backcountry power generation with their stoves that create power whioe they heat food. At the recent OR Summer Market in Salt Lake City, they unveiled three new products.
The CookStove is great for someone who wants to get into outdoor cooking with wood (sticks, twigs, pinecones and pellets) without groundfires. Like the original CampStove it uses a fan assist to boil a liter of water in 4.5 minutes.
BioLite also introduced Solar Panels to their line up, the SolarPanel 5 and 5+. The 5 denotes five watts and they differ only in that the 5+ incorporates an onboard battery (2200mAh) which offers a full phone charge. The SolarPanels also include sundials to help maximize collection and a cool 360 degree kickstand to aid in mounting in uneven terrain and on vegetation.
The new Power Light Mini is a flat 135 lumen LED light with an onboard battery wthat can be powered by the other BioLite gear or other power sources via USB. Not only can it be charged but it also works as a battery and can power other items. Modes include Edgelit Lantern, Red Night Mode and Strobe functions. The Clipstand can attach to clothing, equipment or used as a stand.
