We're already well-acquainted with BioLite's ingenious outdoor string lights brand of biofuel-burning (and gadget-charging) camp stoves. The startup's newest offering, though, takes the original CampStove and turns it into a grillmaster's group-friendly dream.
Launching today on Kickstarter , BaseCamp functions on the same basic principal as the original; using nothing but firewood, you get to charge your devices, power a small light, and grill up dinner over an elevated cooking fire. It really is a pretty smart not to mention sustainable alternative to the more common outdoor string lights versions that run off propane ( and propane accessories ).
The stove puts out 5 Watts of power via a standard USB port. But if you're not ready for a charge while you're cooking, BioLite has also added a battery to the stove's powerpack. So whether or not you're charging, if the fire's burning, you're collecting energy to use at your convenience.
The HomeStoves proved so popular, though, that BioLite decided to design a consumer version intended for camping. And while Kickstarter campaigns can be a gamble, BioLite has proven they can deliver plus, they've outdoor string lights already surpassed their goal.
