Any one seen or used one of these? I got one as a gift but am finding it hard to justify carrying it my pack when I'm away from the 4WD. Seems like a unnecessary bulk.

Don't like the idea of using power from your Phone M2cW

[soundfx]

M2cW?? What does that mean?

I think it actually charges your phone??

[soundfx]

Yeah, that it. It uses the heat from the fire to generate power to charge your phone or any other USB device. It also powers a small fan to help with combustion.

I think he means my 2 cents worth. Three dogs is all over the teenage abbreviations...lol

Ah... right. I'm so far out of the loop I'm still saying carpe diem instead of YOLO!

Yea the concept is good. But I've read reports that heat is low and charging is slow. Ok for an older phone like the iPhone 3 and 4, but don't bother with pads..
And heat is low. Perfect for a hiker, but much better options when you have a car..
