What are your opinions about the BioLite camp stove? (homemade, camping, 2011)

What do you think about the BioLite camp stove?

It's a wood, as well as other bio mass, fueled camping stove that not only heats up food but also charges cellphones at the same time?

It's kind of a neat device, i like a wood burning stove but don't see a need to charge my phone.

That looks pretty cool. When I did a lot of camping with my friends years ago it was somewhat of competition with who could come up with cool gadgets like my friends stereo using a walkman and some homemade speakers using plastic cups. That product if it works would certainly be a winner if we had cell phones back then. LOL

Its great to see the thought process going into these, like serving underdeveloped nations, cleaner burning etc.
This particular model, from a practical viewpoint...it would be nice to be able to attach a propane can for when its wet or for areas where there isn't biomass.
