I don't have any skin in this game, but I wanted to let y'all in on something a buddy just sent me, it's a linky to stovelite.com From their site, and I quote "The Stove Lite harnesses heat from your wood stove, converting it to electricity that powers its built-in LED light, as well as charging its battery and your smartphone, laptop or tablet device." Looks like they're taking orders and trying to get some investment to get the business going
Pretty cool, hope it opens up a market to make them more affordable. For now, I will stick to candles.
Ya, I'm not sending 'em big cash, but it looks like the thing was developed by some tekkies at Vermont Technical College.
Here is one (on the left side of the flue) on a Woodstock Ideal Steel. This picture was taken in Washington DC last November when Woodstock won the grand prize for clean burning stoves. That is Tom Morrissey, the owner of Woodstock and one heck of a nice guy too.
