BioLite CampStove

Campfires. Cozy, warm and a great way to cook your food in the great outdoors. But in this day and age, where everyone is concerned about global warming, resource depletion and hazardous gases released into the stratosphere, burning wood tends to leave one's conscience a bit dented.

Now there is a way to have a campfire going, which reduces smoke emissions by 90 percent. BioLite's technology starts by converting a fraction of the thermal energy outlet to power a combustion improvement system. Thanks to the combustion system, the CampStove need less than half the wood an open campfire requires. Furthermore, the excess energy produced can be used to power a lamp or recharge a phone.
BioLite also launches the HomeStove, which is a bigger version primarily intended for usage in 3rd world countries, where smoke from campfires causes nearly 2 million premature deaths every year.




BioLite CampStove will soon enter retail and may be ordered from their website: http://www.biolitestove.com/CampStove.html

Question time:
If you went hiking in the mountains, would this be in your backpack?
Do you think that campfire smoke is such a big deal?


Leave your answer in the comments section below.




Wonder if you could make a workaround that make the Handpresso Auto work on this?
