WoodGas Camp Stove: Smaller, Lighter, More Efficient

by Willy Volk (RSS feed) on May 22nd 2007 at 2:15PM

The WoodGas Camp Stove is more clever than its name suggests. A revolution in outdoor cooking, this tough stove starts quickly and easily; weighs only 2 pounds; uses 90% less fuel than ordinary stoves; and burns almost any plant-based fuel. You can even burn wet plant material.

Using a small (battery- or solar-powered) fan to draw fresh air into the unit's dual stage combustion chamber, the WoodGas stove effectively burns fuel twice -- allowing for a cleaner, hotter, more efficient stove.

Developed by a scientist with more than 30 years experience in biomass energy, the compact Stove is perfect for backpacking, hiking, camping, tailgating, hurricane preparedness, or making s'mores in the backyard. Get yours for $50. Bearded, woodsy, avuncular man not included.
