BioLiteCampStove 2+ Wood Burning, Electricity Generating & USB Charging Camp Stove

I've made many a thing on this grill. I've used it for weeks on end. Coffee, tea, homemade maple syrup. I've used it to boil oil for hot wings and onion rings. I've sautéed butter drenched vegetables. Seared tuna and steak. Soup, stew, and I even built an oven to make field biscuits and such. Has heated my tent with a flue pipe and reversed grill to act as a smoke collecting hood during an immense downpour and miserable days trapped tentside.Keeping the fire fed is key. Make it a habit. It's not meant to be left unattended. Feed it moderately every 2-6 minutes. Make sure it's on a stable surface so you may steady large pots, pans or woks. You get accustomed to how it works and an observant individual will have no issues. Charges large battery pack/ hub for the phones, earbuds, tablet and laptops when in use.Had one version 2 unit fail when the button slid off of the switch. Fixed in the field with light, smll tools. They replaced the unit when I returned from that trip. Owned two of these: the original back in 2014 (was stolen in 2021 while in the truck) and the 2.The first NEVER had an issue. The second only that one event. Excellent purchases. Three for me, two purchased for family members.If you're not patient, attentive and appreciative of this designs efficiency and versatility, it will not be worth your time. This is a tool, not a yuppie-boutique item for a ridiculous premium cost. Care for it, it'll care for you, as a good tool should.As an aside: I had a friend's jetboil product clog and fail during a trip. It could not be resolved in the field with anything on hand. Had I not packed the Biolite, we'd have eaten a lot of granola, trailmix, energy bars and berries from surrounding foliage.Customer service has been VERY ATTENTIVE.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The media could not be loaded. Where to begin with this little stove? I think the thing I love most about it is the efficiency with very little fuel. Out and about, i'll just chop up and use the deadwood that's laying around. If prepped ahead of time, i'll take a few cups of pellets to burn. 2 cups of pellets last me about 40 minutes of burn time with the fan going. The multiple fan speeds allow you regulate the heat a little bit, which is nice. Don't always need it full speed. The USB light is a nice little add-on, and gets its use at night time. Overall, very happy with the stove after a few uses.Pros:- Multiple fan speeds- Auto fan start once fire heats up- Small and portable. Packs up really well- Wide base helps stabilize larger pots and pans on the top- Very little to no smoke once up to temperature- Visual indications for temperature, fan speed, and battery level- Surprisingly good water resistance- Extra outer skin on burn chamber stays much cooler than main chamber (still hot though, but not scorching)- was able to get 10W out from USB port which could be nice in a pinchCons:- Need to take an extra little bit of time to center the pot on top. (really the only con I can really think of)
