3 Watts at peak output. The hotter the fire, the more power produced.

Yes, CampStove 2+ can work with kettles and camping pots and pans. We do not recommend heavy cast-iron and cookware with diameters greater than 10" as these create unstable cooking surfaces given the small footprint of CampStove. If you're looking for larger group cooking, we recommend using the BioLite KettlePot or Portable Grill which are designed to work specifically with CampStove while maximizing cooking capacity.

1) Fill your burn chamber ¾ of the way with fuel (this can be small dry sticks or pellets – don’t overstuff or you’ll block the air jets that help combust the smoke) 2) Use a small piece of firestarter (included with all CampStove 2+s) and light with a match or lighter and place inside your chamber (we recommend bbq lighters if you’re in windy conditions, you can light directly inside the chamber). 3) Once the CampStove 2+’s heat probe gets hot enough the fan will turn on and start to stoke your fire. If you have a little bit of smoke before the fan turns on that is normal - it will go away when the fan kicks in.

CampStove 2+ works best with dry solid biomass like sticks and pellets. Dense hardwoods like cedar burn longer than softer woods like pine. For ultimate ease and convenience, pellets offer a seamless sustained burn.

The FlexLight is an included USB gooseneck lamp that you can tap on, off, and dim all with the touch of a finger. It can be powered directly from the CampStove's USB out located on the power pack and is a great way to illuminate your cooktop when cooking with the CampStove at night. Outside of camping, FlexLight makes a great laptop light and reading light when paired with a powerbank.

Parks vary by region and season, you must check with your local ranger for restrictions specific to your park and area. For parks with the strictest policies (safety first!) BioLite BaseCharge power stations can run electric cook tops, instant pots, blenders, and more.
