My editor leaves it to me to make recommendations and prints what I write. I don’t get paid by the manufacturers and have editorial independence. I’m an avid long-distance backpacker, rock climber, and mountaineer who understands the value well-designed gear delivers, especially when your life depends on it. I’m a 20-year Marine Corps veteran and I have more than 35 years of backcountry experience. A grill kit and french press unit that work with the CampStove 2+ are sold separately.Īshes must be handled properly not to start forest fire The downside is that you have to scavenge the biomass to burn, and if it’s wet, you might be in for a tough time. The upside of the design is that it doesn’t use any fossil fuels. The unit has a digital display for fire strength, power available, and fan speed. It will charge phones, lights, cameras, and more and has a 2,600mAh onboard battery.
COLEMAN FIRE COMMANDER STOVE GENERATOR
The thermoelectric generator uses the Seebeck effect to generate 3 watts of electricity through the principle of heat differential. The burn chamber works like a rocket stove - burning hot, fast, and smokeless. The stove’s design centers on three key elements: a stainless steel burn chamber with a stable tripod base and three-prong top, a precision airflow system, and a thermoelectric generator.
COLEMAN FIRE COMMANDER STOVE PORTABLE
This innovative system’s patented combustion technology creates a vortex of smokeless flames providing a portable campfire for heating, cooking, and generating electricity.

What could be better than being able to gather sticks, burn them, and use that energy to light your campsite and charge your cell phone? Sounds too good to be true? Meet the BioLite CampStove 2+.

The system is super packable the base folds and snaps into the lid, and the burner and small (100g) fuel canister can be placed inside the cup. Unlike many backcountry stoves, the burner has a thermal regulator that also allows you to simmer, which is pretty handy. My quickest is 12 seconds, and it will boil a liter of water in a little over four minutes. You’ll need to buy the fuel canisters separately (available in 100 or 230ggrams). It’s simple in design consisting of six components: a 1.0 liter Neoprene-wrapped FluxRing metal collapsible-handled cooking cup with integrated windscreen, an adjustable flame burner unit with integrated Piezo igniter, a plastic insulating drink-through lid, a plastic bottom cover that serves as a measuring cup, a storage bag for the burner unit, and an attachable plastic base to add stability on uneven ground and prevent you from dumping your food on the ground and cursing like a sailor. The MiniMo is a canister stove, meaning that the burner unit screws into and sits atop a metal isobutane fuel canister. The beauty of the MiniMo is that it provides a large amount of boiling hot water in seconds and is pretty efficient with fuel - you’ll get a lot of burns out of a standard fuel tank. The stove I currently use in the backcountry is the JetBoil MiniMo, and it has served me reliably since 2016.
