New camp stove/electronics charger

I just read about this stove that was featured at the Outdoor Retailers Show. It's a bit on the heavy side for backpacking, but what a cool idea!

Backpacker is currently testing this thing.. so far seems to be a failure. Having to burn twigs for 1.5 hours just to get 1/3 of a charge on a cell phone. Not able to charge items that need high Amps etc..

I'll be eager to see the results of their tests. Even if it turns out to be a flop, maybe in time it will be improved upon. I like the idea of not having to buy fuel anymore.

Haha, my bad! I didn't realize there was already a thread about this.

You know that making a hobo stove is actually really easy to do.. no more buying fuel and you get to make something cool.. well actually a woodgas stove is much more effective http://www.instructables.com/id/Woodgas-Can-Stove/
