Too big, too heavy, takes an age to charge anything and is really hard to feed without taking the pot off the top, so takes an age to boil or cook on.
Look at the powerpot for converting heat into electricity :)

Biolite effectiveness aside, the fact it's $130 in the US and £150 in the UK puts me off (only a quick google, granted). For me I think a Dynamo hub is a better option.

Well, If I was out on my fatbike I couldn't run the dynamo hub and even if using the dynamo If I was sat around at camp I'd rather have a stove/campfire going which charged my kit rather sit there spinning the wheel. :lol:
