Anyone have experience with a Biolight stove?

[SmileDocHill]

I see these popup on my Facebook reels they look really cool would be fun but if it works as advertised a pretty cool item 4 minor shtf events.
Basically it's like a compact solo stove, burn anything in it, with a cooking grill attachment, and uses the heat to power charging ports.
No gas to carry.

Hmmm.
I like the idea of packability. I wonder how long the charger will work from regular use.

Walmart has knock off solo stoves in different sizes.

I think I might try a medium for $89 to see if it's worth it.

Yeah had a guy bring it out on a backpacking trip just to try it out. He didn't read the manual. You have to keep it charged for it to work right. Suggestion is charge it up once a year. The power the fire puts off just isn't very much. 3200mAH battery and the fire charges the battery abysmally slow last I checked. It is the same as those heat powered fans you can put on wood burning stoves. They just don't put off that much power.

When my son's enlisted I bought them both JetBoil stoves with the french press.
I believe they will boil a qt of water in 3 min. They offer lots of options.

I'd just make a rocket stove using cement. Or do a Swedish log using the giant corkscrew that many uses for camping / prepping / shtf scenarios.

I had one, I sent it back. It's really expensive and not very good at anything. I built a hobo stove based off of a YouTuber and I got a solar charger along with a portable battery pack for a fraction of the cost and all work great.
