BioLite stove is a modern solution to an old problem; cooking over fire. In short, the BioLite burner was developed to efficiently burn almost anything for use in rural areas. The innovation is that the fire creates electricity using a thermoelectric generator that in turn drives a small fan. The fan increases the intensity of the burn allowing one to burn almost any material efficiently. As a bonus, surplus electricity can charge a cell phone or small light.
This means less fuel is needed and the fuel can be from waste materials normally thrown away. There is also a camping stove for people who aren’t cooking outside on a daily basis.
Wow, you solved the tough question that comes up every year, “What can I buy Chuck for Christmas?”. I am going to suggest this to my siblings as a gift for Chuck.
