Title: Re: Biolite Stoves Post by portage dog on Feb 15th, 2017 at 9:51pm
SP, my son has one and I've road tested it a small bit. It has built in fan to speed the burn and you can charge something with it. Sounds and looks like a mini fire tornado! It works fine - mostly for boiling stuff. One downside I see is that you have to keep feeding it a paying attention to the heat output. I've not used it much, so I don't know the finer points of cooking with it. For me personally, I like the convenience of canister stoves and their versatility. I prefer the MSR WindPro II for general cooking and IMHO, nothing beats the MSR Reactor for a fish fry. For the money, I can think of better things to do with a pile of sticks. It seems sturdy enough and appears well built. I always recommend try before you buy and hope this helps. In the end, whatever fits your style of cooking and camping is the best.
