[Elecraft] Bio-Lite Stove & Charger

[David Cutter]

It would be interesting to see a Jetboil cooker combined with a modern 
thermopile.

It brings to mind what you would need for a minimalist radio station to 
cover a 24 hour field day contest including food, fuel, staying safe and 
warm.  All good practice for emergency/remote/SOTA operations.

What happened to the 100 pound (46kg) challenge?
