Can it really be THAT easy?? https://youtu.be/flOB2m9HITA?list=PLB7maRae508Tvm3MfzZDzOzXB1hCbs8NW https://youtu.be/RhrcNB_JfEw?list=PLB7maRae508Tvm3MfzZDzOzXB1hCbs8NW https://youtu.be/fTLx9HPQqv4?list=PLB7maRae508Tvm3MfzZDzOzXB1hCbs8NW https://youtu.be/C0TxTKI3zVM?list=PLB7maRae508Tvm3MfzZDzOzXB1hCbs8NW
Thought the BioLite was about the same price? Did anyone do a review of it? If so, I must of missed it in my absence. Yet in areas where fire is not allowed, this item would work. It's even supposed to work in the winter sun, and I know that charging via solar panels in the winter months can be a challenge. Then too, the bigger the solar panel the more light it gathers, so perhaps the size of these reflectors might offer a similar advantage. There is a mini-version for $80, big enough to roast 2 fat ol' wieners. Is funny, I throw the solar panels on the dashboard when using the smartphone for GPS navigation. Phone sits in the windshield cradle and the panel is recharging the phone - even on cloudy days - using the automatic port. Would be good if the unit arrived before the next camp out, but it's not even been packaged up yet. Of course I cannot go cause of at least one job. Keep hoping for a way out for the last weekend of the month, as the church has a yearly Men's Retreat campout for 3 days. This year it's supposed to be Fish Lake in Oregon, and I could get re-baptized during the same event.

You can see some of my experiences with the standard Biolite stove here:http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,54472.0.htmlDef
There is an outdoor cook badge, you could get that one.
