The Warmth of Great Ideas
While perhaps not entirely ideal in that BioLite still uses burning wood as a source of fuel, it is nonetheless a revolutionary stove that makes cooking on wood as clean, safe, and easy as using modern fuels while generating electricity to provide illumination and cell phone connectivity to those who are off-grid.
Like other carefully designed stoves using fans to blow air into the fire, BioLite dramatically improves combustion. However, other stoves require small amounts of electricity to power their fans. BioLite stoves solve this problem by converting a fraction of the fire’s thermal energy into electricity to power our combustion improvement system. Excess electricity is available to users to charge small electronic devices such as cell phones and LED lights. A bright idea indeed.
