Woodgas Stove
Here is a small stove I am considering
seriously since it can use almost any
kind of fuel like pinecones and twigs~~

Fuels it can use~~
Pellets
Pellets are sold in hardware stores as fuel for traditional pellet stoves. Pellets are densified saw dust, and have very high heat content per volume. They burn longer than any other plant based fuel. The WoodGas camping stove will burn one load of pellets for up to 40 minutes on high power.
Wood Chips
Chips made from chopping tree branches will burn very well in the WoodGas camping stove. A camp stove filled with wood chips will typically run for 20 minutes on high power.
Twigs
Small branches can be chopped into sticks about 4
inches in length, and then stacked vertically in the stove. Total burn time for one load will be about 15 minutes on high power.
Pine Cones, Leaves, Grasses
These fuels are generally very light and will be consumed quickly in the stove. It is still possible to use them, but they must be added often to keep the stove burning for long periods.

At first the idea that it uses batteries seemed
to be a drawback, but they do offer a solar charger
which can be directly plugged into the unit.
Couple that with my solar lighter and I could
have a single burner stove for a reasonable price
especially if it performs well for years.
