Biolite Camp Stove and USB charger

[mcgovern61]

I love neat new products and this one caught my eye for camping on the bike. It is a small stove about the size of a plastic water bottle that uses sticks or pellets for fuel, can cook, boil water AND charge devices via a USB connector. It comes with a USB LED light. Click on the link to the website and there is also a video of it in action.

Slick. I'll bet it takes a while to full charge.

20 minutes of charging for 60 minutes of talking... how much Candy Crush time does that equate to?

I've been keeping an eye on that one for a while, but as long as the price stays around $130, I'll stick to my propane burner. I even got to fondle one at the Great American Outdoorsman Show and I didn't change my opinion.
