BioLite BaseCamp Stove | Turn Fire into Electricity
- Its Kickstarter campaign ended 15 June 2014 having raised $1,032,443 against a $45,000 goal from 3,785 backers[2]
- MSRP is $299 (the backer level with a carrying case was $299); specs include a 20 lb weight and a 13.25-inch cooktop[2]
- Availability was given as September 2014 by BioLite, while Engineering.com expected shipping in October 2014[2][3]
Notable features
- BioLite's BaseCamp is a wood-burning group stove that uses a thermoelectric generator to turn fire heat into up to 5 watts of electricity for charging devices and powering its combustion fan[2][3]
- Inspired by requests for BioLite's HomeStove for emerging markets, it generates 5 watts for charging, twice the power of the CampStove, and stores power for later; Engineering.com cites an estimate that thirty minutes of charging gives five hours of talk time[2][3]
- It burns wood and other biomass, refuelled through a side feed; it stands 15 inches high with legs folded (23 inches extended) and 21 inches wide, and the cooktop fits eight large burgers[2]
- Features include an LED dashboard, a flexible USB LED light, a one-touch grill-to-boil lever and side feeding[2][3]

BioLite's own blog post and 16 June 2014 publish date report the Kickstarter[1] smashing its $1M goal for the BaseCamp Stove, predating the pin's stored 30 September 2014 date by over three months and not itself confirming that later date; the page could not be fetched to quote directly.

Engineering.com describes the BaseCamp's thermoelectric generator and fan system and notes the Kickstarter[1] had passed its $45,000 goal with manufacturing "expected to begin in October 2014" - close to, but not an exact match for, the pin's stored 30 September 2014 date.
