Biolite Outdoors and Off-Grid Energy

I found this place by accident, they have amazing products.

Here's a tiny outdoor stove that has an onboard battery AND battery charger, that powers a fan for the fire. The fan boosts the fire. The fire charges the battery. The battery powers the fan! Neat! You can also connect an LED light to it, or use it to charge your phone. It's amazing! I almost ordered one, but I don't do any camping or survival stuff... So it would have been a super cool and super useless gadget. lol Maybe I'll get one next year, I'll see.

They also have solar panels and headlamps.

Even a big firepit that runs with a fan powered by a battery pack that can last up to 30 hours. They say that when the fan runs, the fire is supposed to be optimal and smoke-free, which is pretty neat.

Feel free to check out all those cool products. Perhaps some of you guys already have some of them.

This company's primary objective is to bring sustainable and clean energy to the world, especially in poor countries. Imagine having a tiny stove that can generate electricity AND cook your diner. Here we take electricity for granted. But in poor countries, this is game changer.

Num showed me these in Discord, but wanted to say they look awesome. Love the high-tech aesthetic. Futuristic camping stuff makes me happy inside.

I'd be nervous about the battery being inches from the fire, but I'm sure they've engineered that to be safe somehow.

I thought the same thing. From the videos I've seen, they're saying the outer shell of the stove remains pretty cool thanks to how it's designed. So the battery pack should not heat up.

That being said, if it ever gets too hot in there, the battery pack will shutdown it's fan, to slow down the fire and let things cool down.
