I wanted one since they came out with the kickstarter so i may be biased, but this thing is amazing. First yes it would be really heavy for backpacking, but not unmanageable, that's the negative i hear most. i love that it uses wood instead of canisters that have to be toted along even if they're empty now, i love that it can be started just ridiculously easy because of the fan, and i love that it works. The usb output is a little on the low side, but with a decent fire going it actually managed to add about 10% charge to my iphone in 10 or 20 minutes, not a full charge but i could make a call if i needed to. if you have a good fire going you can actually put moist wood in in small amounts and it will dry it out. it boils water lightning fast and is pretty fun to cook on, i've been using it at home here for a week and I'm running out of sticks in my yard If you want an amazing if not heavy camp stove totally save a few $ and get gen one, if you need it to charge i'd look into gen 2 or some of the other TEG based items, my kettle charge works fine on it and has a 10 watt output, but it's also heavy Read full review

I really enjoyed using it. The fan is a little loud, but not too bad. I boiled water and cooked some pasta on it. It would take a while to make food for a family, but it's great for tea or heating things up. I haven't tried the grill yet

Recently went on a camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park. Took our BioLite Campstove2 bundle and wow what an amazing product. Our camping friends were definitely jealous. I ended up purchasing the BioLite Nanogrid Lighting bundle also! I would highly recommend this product. Would also be good in case of an emergency!

First of all my product was literally shipped the day I ordered it. Second it’s in perfect working order with very little wear. I definitely recommend this Biolite stove for anyone looking for a camping stove. I got mine in case the grid goes down I and my family Al can still cook and charge small items
