I’ve been camping a few times and always end up with a dead battery in my phone by the end of it, so you will be happy to know that there is a cooking stove which can help you charge up your phone, which has been made by a company called BioLite.<\/p>\n

The CampStove<\/strong> was first used last week through Hurricane Sandy, when many residents lost power. It was a lifeline for them to be able to use the Stove not only to charge their phone and stay in touch with relatives, but I guess to heat food on as well.<\/p>\n

The stove of course can burn sticks, pine cones, and biomass which helps it generate enough heat and power to be able to charge up a Smartphone battery, a USB torch, or any other USB gadgets (whilst toasting some marshmallows!).<\/p>\n

If you want to get your hands on one, you can pick one up for $129 over on the BioLite site<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

BioLite Chief Executive Jonathan Cedar said ‘We spent years developing the technology to offer a unique benefit to outdoor travellers to never have to carry fuel again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Surplus electricity can be used to charge small electronic devices, making it a true on demand energy source.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘The CampStove is a convenient and green choice, reducing an individual\u2019s carbon footprint and keeping fuel canisters out of landfills by using twigs and other solid biomass instead of non-renewable petroleum gas.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a video of the device in action:<\/p>\n
