No way would I put a battery operated device near a fire/flame but each to their own.

Here is a review of the stove

nice find on the review looks good. needs initial charge to get it going it says tho, i'm wondering if this is usb charge as it states a solar charger could do it?? hmmmm some trails to be done me thinks.

Seen one in action.

They do charge items, but are bulky and weight wise not worth carrying.

The person who had it sold it on.

was thinking more bug in as its a relatively smokeless fire....

That looks pretty nifty, doubt a phone would be too much use in a SHTF situation though (other than for kids to watch some movies/games etc), but still very nifty.

I realy like the looks of this, and a built in charger too As said bit too bulky to go into a BOB, even a Berghaus Vulcan. But for emergency cooking its a great bit of kit. Thanks for the post.

I was seriously tempted myself because of the fan assisted power of he device creating more reliability and more heat, but if you are after something that can charge your phone then a homemade hobo stove or wood gas stove with a thermoelectric device and scavenged heat sink would probably do the business at 1/3 the cost.

for winter cooking I am thinking much more along the lines of indoor cooking and, you guessed it, ethanol.
