    Oh believe me, the second I get my hands on this I will be out back sparking up it.
    I paid for mine within seconds of getting the E mail.

    As someone living in a third-world country, this technology, if proven effective and efficient, is huge. Half of our cooking staff have respiratory problems from spending years around cooking fires. There are entire NGOs here devoted to building smoke-free kitchens.

    I'm going to pull the trigger on one immediately and bring it to Uganda with me following m next visit to the states. Anxious to see how we can start putting this into play in the villages.

    Only problem I foresee is the USB port. Need to find a way to have a plug other than a USB port. Guess I'll start emailing them.

    Now I am pissed. I feel like the little kid that hasn't got his birthday cake at the party yet because he stayed outside and played too long.
    Oh well, mine will probably be better than yours anyways! (JK)
    Play with it and lets us know.

    So I am jazzed about my pending arrival of my stove, so I go on youboob to watch the videos from the people who have already received theirs and are checking them out for the first time.
    The first video I watch, the guy is complaining that it smoked too much when he put green sticks in the stove that he just cut off his tree.
    I wonder if he watched his own video later and realized how nieve his statement was?
    And it didn't burn the grass I just mowed from my front lawn either !!!!!!

    Boy, I hope he doesn't hurt himself with this stove.

    I got mine last week, I'll be making a video about it soon, lets just say its pretty awesome.

    I just put in some branches and twigs I found around the yard, timed it, came to a rolling boil in about 4mins, pretty impressive.

    Yep, I just got mine too and it's pretty awesome. It's definitely something to at least keep in the truck for "just incase" reasons. It works really well to create coals too in the need of starting a grill or a larger fire.

    FYI, I just received mine! I did not receive any notification that they were sending it.
    Charging it now. We will be playing with fire tonight!

    Just FYI for people turning it on and wondering why it randomly turns back on when powering off. The system turns back on when powered off to help cool down the embers.
