Well, it only boils water. For that purpose some competitors would be: - Backcountry Boiler, which is also wood-fueled and 1/4 the weight. - Jetboil Sol, half the weight including fuel canister. canister good for 20+ boils - alcohol or esbit burner + titanium cup and fuel - less than 1/3 the weight including fuel The only scenario I can think of where the BioLite makes sense is if you have no access to electricity for weeks at a time. Even then I think solar panels make more sense.
