Title: Re: Biolite Stoves

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.
