Oh it has pop rivets too? Ya! That's what I really want to lay ash on my
delicate electronics. Something that I can't move or pack while it's hot,
gets soot all over my backpack and rusts when it's left out overnight.
Notice they don't say how much current it puts out. That's because
thermopiles don't put out much. I really like the part about reducing your
carbon footprint. $129, *iPhone not included. The Emperor has no clothes. I
think I'll pass before I get my fingers burned.

Interesting. Using a fan to accelerate combustion was an intelligent idea.
An improved version would not be assembled with pop rivets. When pop rivets
are used in thin material they tend to loosen over time. Otherwise a very
innovative approach.
