The self powered one is also reduced, down to £75.
Rather have my tiny Trangia meths stove than lug this about and have to forage for twigs etc. flirt

I'll be sticking with my Kelly kettle, if this was the one that charges your phone while you use the fire pit I would of bought it for this price.

Kelly Kettle - been using one for since nineteen hundred and frozen to death in all weathers & temperatures. Its not fancy or designer just does what it supposed to do

This new one is certainly quieter and smaller. Can't imagine many uses for the one that can charge things.

So you're at least 117 years old? Cool. :man:

You can't argue that this is a hot deal but I still think it is a bit of a crappy product. Just buy the non-battery powered wood burners for £12 and be done with it. Adding batteries to a wood fire just seems a bit odd. The batteries do not last long and so you may as well just stick to gas.

Just get an electric hookup and use an electric kettle, induction hob & heater

There are different types of camping, if I'm going for a few days with the kids then I want mod cons such as fridge, kettle, tablets, phone, music...
If I'm having a night away in the wilderness then anything electrical is not wanted nor is it available even if I did want it!

I understand that but this does seem to be a far-fetched gadget. A gas stove and some gas cylinders won't break the bank.
