So you mean I can use $5 worth of propane instead of $0.10 worth of electricity to charge my cell phone?

Ummm, lots of electricity outlets while out in the backwoods is there ...

LOL. I'm pretty sure my cell service doesn't work in the backwoods whether I have a charged battery or not. My guess is that all the plastic and rubber on the USB cable is going to melt before you get a charge.

"Outdoor loving photographers who are often far away from power grids don’t have too many options when it comes to charging up their gear. Without a generator you’re pretty much left with batteries and solar chargers."

"Unlike solar chargers the FlameStower can work at any time of day or night. All you have to do is unfold it, set one end up over a flame, and fill the cup on the other with water. The heat from the fire transfers to the generator, the water bath keeps the other end of the generator cool, and the temp difference creates electricity. That’s it!"
