The BaseCamp converts heat into usable electricity for large-format cooking and charging. Using only fallen branches or small pieces of firewood, make wood-fired meals and charge devices all at the same time. It's a smart alternative to fossil-fueled stoves, creating an elevated cooking fire that burns smarter than any fire you're used to.

The Biolite SolarPanel 5+ comes equipped with a 2200 mAh battery that can be pre-charged at home via the supplied USB cable or topped up via the solar panel. A little row of LEDs offers a battery level indicator and the little batter icon beside the LEDs is a little on-off switch. There is a simplicity with the product, light, well-built with exceptional attention to detail, for example both USB ports are enclosed by two little rubber doors to protect them from the elements.

BioLite says that its latest model is more efficient, producing 50 percent more energy than the original version. That allows it to power up the stove’s removable 2600 mAh battery pack more quickly while also powering the onboard four-speed fan too. That fan that not only helps the stove to cook more efficiently but keeps the amount of smoke generated to a minimum as well. The new stove even ships with one of BioLite’s handy FlexLight, a USB powered lamp that helps you cook after dark.
