Thermoelectric cooking pot, can charge your cellphone and stuff while you cook your meal. I could see this being used in a lot of situations, camp fire, buried coals, power outages charging on a woodstove etc

ya, the biolight

I was thinking this cookpot might be usable in more ways and has more power output

biolight is 2w wheras the powerpot is 5w, but in looking the biolight might be the same output at peak.

You would have to have a 55 gal drum of fuel for an extended trip. I like the idea but just don't think the technology is there just yet.
