When we were checking the new submission from Military1st.co.uk, we saw this campstove that got out attention due to its ability to provide a charge to your mobile devices whilst cooking at the same time. What's best is that it does not require any fuel cannister to start a fire, just use what is available at your camp site... "Winner of the 2012 Tech Awards, Innovation by Design Awards, and OWPG Derryck Draper Award, the BioLite CampStove is revolutionising the traditional approach to campfire.

Presented BioLite CampStove makes outdoor cooking with wood as clean and easy as modern fuels while providing electricity to charge small electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras or LED torches, off-grid.

The CampStove eliminates the need for heavy and expensive gas canisters and provides a critical resource for preparedness and emergency settings. Using only the twigs, sticks or pinecones collected while out and about, the CampStove utilises heat-to-electricity technology to power an internal fan creating an ultra-efficient high temperature fire through improved combustion.

Both, a great cooking stove and on-demand clean energy source, this CampStove is a must-have accessory for every outdoor enthusiast or gadget lover.
