When it comes to electronics, heat is usually the enemy. You want to dissipate heat as quickly as possible so that you can get the maximum performance from your hardware. That’s why the idea of using a heat source to power your electronics seems a little weird. But that’s exactly what BioLite does. They’re a Brooklyn, NY based company that “develops and manufactures advanced energy products that make cooking with wood as clean safe and easy as modern fuels while also providing electricity to charge cell phones and LED lights off-grid.” While the big audacious goal is to change the lives of people who cook over open fires and may not have electricity, BioLite has also developed some pretty sweet camping products.

Lite It Up

The line of BioLite products is already really impressive. Their HomeStove is targeted towards people who cook their meals over open fires (think developing countries), and its distribution is funded through the purchases of other BioLite products. These are the products targeted towards the camping market. With one set of easily packable devices (here’s the bundle), you can cook, boil, and charge. BioLite also offers BaseCamp, which is a more permanent solution, and KettleCharge, a charger and water purifier. I love this kind of innovation because it has applications across all types of lifestyles. If you agree, check out BioLite’s Jobs page and their latest job postings in the lefthand sidebar.
