This camp stove could be useful for wildland firefighters that overnight in spike camps rather than traveling back to an incident command post at the end of every shift. Not only will it boil a liter of water in as little as 4.5 minutes, but at the same time it can charge your cell phone or any other device that charges via a USB cable.

The two-pound unit folds up to about the size of a 1 liter Nalgene water bottle and uses small twigs as fuel.  An electric fan enhances combustion, allowing it to power a small thermoelectric generator that keeps the fan going; a small battery starts things off. The generator puts out enough power to run a USB charge-port that you can use to keep your phone and LED lights charged.

Or if your power goes out at home, here’s a way to provide a little heat, make a cup of coffee, heat some beans, and keep your devices charged.

The manufacturer, BioLite, claims that with a strong fire going, 20 minutes of charging time can can provide an Apple iPhone 4S with 60 minutes of talk time.

Amazon sells it for $129.95.
