The Bio-Lite was not advertised to power a QRP rig. It is sold as an efficient camp stove and house stove for 3rd world countries and it will charge a cell phone or iPhone as an added advantage. Of course there are cheaper ways to charge a cell phone or power a QRP rig, but powering a QRP rig was a product of this ham radio on the brain group. It is attractive to me as a way to cook food or boil water after a hurricane and it might be worth the price as we do have a lot of broken trees for fuel after a storm.
