The BioLite Camping Stove could easily be mistaken for a power station! It uses wood and other biomass fuels, so there's no need to lug heavy gas canisters around with you. As the combustion process produces energy, some of this heat is converted into electricity so you can charge small devices like phones and digital cameras.

If this wasn't enough, the generating unit also features a fan and its own battery supply. The purpose of the internal battery is to power the fan whilst the fire is getting going. As the fire builds, so does the heat, to a point where the stove re-charges its own battery and moves the fan onto a higher-output setting. The fan improves its efficiency, making it burn hotter and cleaner.

It's perfect for camping holidays and festivals. You can cook your food and charge your devices safe in the knowledge that your environmental impact is kept to an absolute minimum. -L.M.
