BioLite's BioLite CampStove was previously introduced on our sister site Internet.com. This was a small camping stove that could be used not only for cooking but also for generating electricity.

The BioLite CampStove is a very attractive product in terms of functionality. However, there were people who said that the design was not good enough. Also, the size was too small, limiting the amount of food that could be cooked.
To address these complaints, BioLite has developed the BioLite BaseCamp, which is larger and has a cooler design. Pre-orders are now being accepted. If you apply now, you will be able to get it in the fall of 2014.

The BioLite BaseCamp is a family camping stove with a large 33 cm grill. It is very environmentally conscious, and instead of using dedicated fuel, twigs, dead leaves, pine cones, and even newspapers that have been read can be used as fuel. For this reason, it is considered useful not only when camping, but also in times of disaster.


But that's not all. The BioLite BaseCamp is also equipped with a USB port that can be used to charge a variety of devices with USB connectivity, including smartphones. According to BioLite, a 30-minute charge with the "BioLite BaseCamp" will provide five hours of talk time or 20 hours of music file playback for a typical smartphone.


It measures 58 cm high by 53 cm wide and weighs 8.16 kg. The weight alone indicates that it is considerably larger than the BioLite CampStove, which weighs 935 grams.

The "BioLite BaseCamp" is available at the company's online shopping site. The price is $299.95, but shipping to Japan is not included. Shipping costs have not yet been determined at this time. In Japan, the product can be purchased through MontBell's online shopping site.
