MSRP $99.95 -

Four fan speeds to control the flame size, from rapid boil to campfire feel

In 2012 a company called Biolite launched a product called the camp stove which was a wood burning stove each produced electricity so you could essentially charge your phone through the burning of wood.

This isn’t a replacement for the original stove as it doesn’t generation electricity.  What this stove allows you to do is control the amount of heat that the stove produces and it does this through the fan which you can control the speed of.
