BioLite CampStove™

Our Scout group received our BioLite CampStove™ yesterday. We have been waiting for months for it. It didn't take us long before we had the package ripped open and the stove fired up.

BioLite CampStove™

First impressions are the materials are of a good quality and the item is well made. The exception that the carry case is a thin nylon bag.  If it were by personal equipment I would look for a hard case to protect the screen or a least a heavier bag. The base seems very stable on flat ground. 

With one sheet of paper and some twigs we got the fire going. As soon as the heat hit the copper probe the thermal-electric generator started up the fan which really got the fire going.  The stove gave off a lot of heat. After five minutes the LED turned to green which meant we could charge our device via the USB port on the stove.  We plugged in an iPhone in and it began charging.

One the fire was done, the device cooled down quickly.

Overall I was very impressed with the device.  We'll be putting it to good use and better testing over the next few months.
