    Nerdy Camping Gadget

    Success with iPhone 4S

    Just an update regarding the Biolite Stove and its charging abilities: As (bad) luck would have it, my iPhone 3GS went on the fritz after an unfortunate incident with a spilled glass of water. I upgraded to the iPhone 4S and tested it on the Biolite charger last weekend. Happy to report that it charged with no problems. Still really liking this nerdy stove....

    I bought it at an REI store in Boulder, CO. You can find it online if you search for Biolite or go to their web page (Official BioLite Site | Home of the CampStove - Free Shipping). In the interest of full disclosure - I found it worked better than I expected it would as a camp stove and grill - very efficient, easy to light, fast burning, etc. However, I was not so impressed with its charging capabilities. I couldn't get it to charge my iPhone 3GS. I wrote the company and they gave me some suggestions which I haven't had a chance to try yet. Apparently, though, it works better with the newer iPhones and other devices for which they have a published list (https://www.biolitestove.com/media/Bi...bilityList.PDF)....

    Thanks Valmog! I really enjoy getting out and taking photos of the Colorado scenery, and I feel fortunate if one or two photos turn out well that I can share .

    Thanks Robert - My tool set is pretty deficient, but I will try this out next time. It is always more satisfying to be able to do simple things like this yourself rather than having to take it into an RV shop.
