I am happy with this. I have a Traeger grill and tend to cook for 4 or 5 days at a time. That means I was stuck heating things up in the microwave in between times or heating up the whole grill just to warm my food. It is too hot at my house this time of year to indoor cook. I also wanted to quit using my microwave so much. I also travel by car a lot and sometimes end up sleeping in my car at a rest stop or something similar and wanted a way to make coffee or heat up food on the go. Well this is easy, quick, light weight and compact. I have heated up my dinner, made coffee and even cooked a couple of eggs with it. The only problem I have had is I tend to put more wood then I need in it and then I have to wait for it to finish burning before I can put it away. I did the initial charge via the USB port as instructed and so far my meter still reads fully charged.

Beyond cool and nifty, this thing ROCKS! Easy to use, set up, gather fuel for, cook on... does exactly what you want it to do. Used it at 11k feet for 3 days for 2 meals a day with no issues whatsoever. The blower really helps get things moving when at altitude, too. Size is manageable when transporting; weight isn't too bad, especially considering you don't have to lug fuel around everywhere you go. Keep in mind, it is a little top-heavy, so be sure you're on a level surface. Also, don't be in a rush to charge your device as it takes a little while to charge things up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stove, but not quite ready to be your primary.
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2018

Holy crap! When this thing goes, it creates a tornado of fire! Boiled 2 cups of water in 4 minutes. However, it DOES take a few minutes to really get going. Using Biolite pellets in addition to wood made a big difference in flame output.

The stove is very well designed and built. I would not use it as a primary camp-stove however, as it is useless in the rain. It would be a good stove for an additional camper to take on a group trip, particularly for the charging feature.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but not very practical except as a way to burn your fingers, heavy
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020
Verified Purchase
Had to get this because it just seemed too clever to pass up. And it is really cool, when you get it cranking (a challenge, finding and breaking up enough sticks and pine cones and whatnot and feeding it at the right rate without smothering the fire) it is like a little blast furnace. Be careful where you put your fingers and keep your first aid kit handy! If you like playing with fire (and who doesn't), and you have plenty of time and energy to mess around gathering fuel, you'll like this.

It's way too heavy for backpacking, but it does make sense boondocking or car camping or as part of a bugout/survival kit. On our last camping trip (via canoe), was glad to have it along as I did in fact run out of propane on the next to last day, and was able to make rice and coffee and a few other things with it. You can get a nice simmer, or at full blast boil water in no time - my standard cook kit worked fine. It may charge your phone a little, but if that is a real concern I'd rather have a little 12W solar panel in most situations. The included night light was more useful.

Very Functional, Easy to Use, But Not As Light As Expected. When you pack it all up (battery inside stove, stove inside water heater) it becomes fairly heavy. That is fine for me as a car-camper, and short-distance hiker. I also bought it for my son - who does longer hikes where he carries everything. He uses it but has let me know that it is quite awkward to carry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for camping!
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018

I went camping in the Fort Bragg area, all the tinder was not exactly dry but once the fire got going it was awesome! I recharged the battery before leaving "just in case" which turned out to be a good idea, the charge doesn't last long charing an Iphone 6, but I was able to get2 phones completely charged.
Charging the battery with the fire wasn't as fast as I expected or wanted but it did recharge the battery from almost dead to full with a few small fires on low fan speed. Overall I would recommend this product, even with it's weight for backpackers who wild camp or anyone who camps or "glamps", my next purchase my be the fire pit they make as some places in California are now not allowing open fires.

This is an amazing product, the self contained recharging battery not only runs the fan but will recharge small devices. After being lit it is smokeless- dryer the fuel the better or the pellets they sell for longer burn on a single load- it is twig hungry. As a learning curve, lighting it every thing is straight forward- ashes left are powder. I would buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great stove and emergency charger
Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
I used this as a stove with my Jetboil 1.5L pot (which fits perfectly) and it boils water just as fast as a conventional stove. Maybe faster. The charger works well and the built in fan makes starting a fire pretty idiot proof. I'm a backpacker and I've added this to my gear list for a few reasons. 1) I can bring less fuel overall as I have another option for boiling water. I can bring a smaller batter pack as I can use some juice from this guy here and there. Finally, it's nice to have a little fire at a remote campsite when I don't feel like hauling rocks and larger logs. It's fast and easy to have a nice little fire before you go to bed without all the work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bis 45 Minuten Flamme mit einer Ladung Pellets
Reviewed in Germany on February 8, 2019
Verified Purchase
Heute kam mein zweiter CampStove via Amazon. Meinen ersten habe ich kurz vor Weihnachten direkt beim Hersteller gekauft und er ist seitdem täglich, meist mehrmals in Betrieb, fast ausschließlich mit Pellets. Speziell für diesen Zweck habe ich den Ofen gekauft. Pellets brennen sehr gut, wenn sie ausreichend Luft bekommen. Wenn nicht, qualmen sie furchtbar. Ein aktiv belüfteter Ofen ist da fast ein Muss. Der CampStove schafft das ohne Batterien und Kabel. Er erzeugt den Strom für den Lüfter selbst und sorgt dadurch für eine konstante Luftzufuhr, unabhängig vom Ladezustand. Das funktioniert so gut, dass noch Strom übrig bleibt, um ein Smartphone in Bereitschaft zu halten, obwohl ich das eher als einen Bonus ansehe..

Pellets sind, wie bereits erwähnt, ein etwas anspruchsvolles Brennmaterial. Sie sind auch im CampStove nicht ohne Tücken. Daher ein paar Tipps für den sicheren Umgang.

1. Keine Pellets nachlegen, dabei besteht immer die Gefahr, dass die Flammen verlöschen und der Ofen zur Nebelkerze wird. Stattdessen den CampStove vor dem Anzünden mit der benötigten Menge füllen und dann von oben mit einem Zündwürfel anzünden. Den Zündi am besten direkt unter das Thermoelement legen (siehe Foto), so startet der Ofen am schnellsten. Ein voller CampStove bietet etwa eine Dreiviertel Stunde Flammen, ein halbvoller gut eine halbe Stunde, wenn man auf Stufe 1 beginnt und nach ca. 12 und 18 Minuten auf 2, respektive 3 hochschaltet, sobald die Flammen kleiner werden. Schon ein Viertel der Zeit, knapp acht Minuten reichen, um einen Liter Wasser zum Kochen zu bringen. Nach dem Verlöschen der großen, gelben Flammen liefert der CampStove noch einmal etwa die gleiche Zeit etwas geringere Hitze aus der verbliebenen Glut, vorausgesetzt er ist zugedeckt.

2. Den CampStove immer zugedeckt betreiben, wenn der Lüfter läuft. Er bläst die meiste Luft am oberen Rand ein und ohne Topf, Kessel oder einen Deckel wird das Thermoelement, das sich ebenfalls dort befindet, zu stark gekühlt, sodass sich der Ofen frühzeitig abschaltet und viele halb verbrannte Pellets übrig bleiben. Mit Deckel verbrennen sie bis auf einen kleinen Rest (s. letztes Foto). Zum Abdecken eignet sich besonders gut ein Deckel einer Konservendose, der mit einem seitlich schneidenden Dosenöffner abgetrennt wurde (siehe Foto). Für dessen Handhabung benötigt man allerdings eine Zange. Sehr gut eignet sich eine Wasserpumpenzange.

Beim ersten Aufsetzen eines Topfes sollte man auf die Flammen achten, die dann an drei Seiten herausschlagen (s. Foto).

Fazit des Vergleichs alt vs neu: Der CampStove zeigt auch nach intensivem Gebrauch keine nennenswerten Ermüdungserscheinungen. Der neue lief zum Schluss fünf Minuten längee und schaltete sich erst nach 64 Minuten ab.
