Works great! I love that it leaves no footprint. As long as you have try tinder it starts up very fast. You can make your morning coffee while charging your phone
I would recommend this to a friend!

Definitely Handy in Wet Weather

I got my BioLite CampStove as a wedding gift many moons ago. Since then, I mainly used it as a backup cooking and charging device during power outages or for boiling water for MRE's. As a dad of four boys, I'm also a Scoutmaster for a small Scouting Troop near our home town.
On our first spring campout outing of the year, I decided to bring along my CampStove just as tool for our newer scouts to practice their fire building skills. Anyone who goes early Spring camping in the Northeast knows to expect some gnarly weather. The second night out, we got hit hard with slushy rain and gusts of wind. The day (which had been a nice 78 degrees) quickly deteriorated and dropped to 44 degrees Fahrenheit. When the rain came rolling in later that evening, it felt like it was just two degrees above freezing. All night long our tents and gear were peppered with rain and ice.
The next morning, I knew our boys needed a hot meal and a warm fire to start their day. Unfortunately, all our firewood was cold and soaked through and through (with exception to some pine cones and lint I brought from home in a ziplock bag). I tried unsuccessfully to use lint, wood shavings and kindling to start a fire in our fire pit but any fire I'd create was quickly snuffed out. Running low on tinder, I took out my Biolite CampStove as a last ditch effort to create and sustain a solid flame. It did not disappoint! Not only did it start and sustain a fire, I used my CampStove to dry out and light up some moderate sized pieces of wood that I then used to start up our camp fire pit. Needless to say, my CampStove really did save the day! It would not have been possible otherwise.
Since then, if the weather calls for rain on a campout, my CampStove is sure to join in on the adventure.

Works very well as advertised. Grill attachment is a bit wonky if you don't have level ground to set up.

Works great for cooking. Light weight. The stove itself takes up the same space as a Nalgene 32oz bottle. Charging a phone is nice, but drains the internal battery quickly while cooking. Charging works fine when not cooking. After this season, I will drop another review to show how it held up. Overall great purchase

Hyper-Efficient and High Quality! I'm Grateful to support your work in Africa and spread the good word here in The States. Boiled snow in 21 minutes with a few handfuls of wood and I've convinced half a dozen of my friends to pick one up as well. I've even started making YouTube videos to share the nuances and conveniences of this system :-)

Great little stove! There’s a learning curve to keeping the wood/fuel supply just right; but it is enjoyable to use and cook with.

Product works just as described in all the videos. Works great for emergency preparedness, creating heat, light, cooking and the generation of electricity for charging electronic devices and lights. I am an high school electricity teacher and I am using this product for teaching students about the generation of electricity using a thermal couple. Also to make them aware of the necessity of having a product of this nature in emergency situations. This product provides for heat, light, being able to boil water for purification, cooking and recharging electronic devices. I am anxious to try other products in lessons to teach my students and look forward to using them in these situations.
