Power Pot

Did you say "pot *only* 12.7oz?" ;)

That's a heck of a lot of fuel in the backcountry for 7%. You'd probably be better off with a second iPhone (wouldn't cost much more, anyways).

Try using ice? Try pouring out the water completely every time it boils, and adding new?

I can see how this could be advantageous in a scenario where you needed to treat water by boiling or melting snow for water.

Exactly…
A VERY niche product for bacpakers , in fact probably marginally good for 3 travelling for over a week having gadgets with a built in battery or USB chargeable stuff (like a AA charger…)
However it could work well for campers and hikers , particularly the "tipi tent with wood stove" guys for whom spending time feeding the stove is part of the entertainment for the afternoon and evening.
I have one on order just to try that out (it was shipped the other day but will be in California right now)

BTW, there is a $25 1800mAh battery (3oz) available for it.
The idea is to charge that battery at home ( via USB) then you keep that topped up and use it to recharge your other devices.
The battery has USB/Mini-Micro USB and a few other adaptors inc the iPod type.
It should be in my kit.

My paperback doesn't need recharging. I'm single, so no need for communication devices on trips.

I use the Goal0 Guide 10 and the Luna light when needed.

I can charge it off the wall, use it to charge my phone (thought with airplane mode it usually isnt needed)

OR I can use the batteries in my headlight, (if the batteries were to die)

AND with the Luna light (don't weigh jack S.) I can have a nice "lantern" for the tent or kitchen.

~9oz total Guide 10 (w/ batts) and Luna light

-Luna light is .5WPH and the guide 10 puts out 10WPH so 20 hours of light from that little thing.

Yes definitely not a product designed for most people.
Come to think of it, most products don't work for most people…

This is what I had in mind for the Power Pot.

Start with the LiIon battery fully charged, use that to top up your devices and then recharge it.
Some devices are particular about constant power, I think that the kit battery isn't (just my idea…)
Incidentally it does fit nicely on top of the BioLite so I see no reason why it should not work well with that too.

Keep in mind that the Pot need a lot of water (the colder the better) to work, so it is not a cooking type pot but may just work if camping or spending long nights in a refuge with a fire place.
Just in case I have not been clear about this , IT IS NOT AIMED AT THE TYPICAL BPL HIKER….

I shot a video on the Power Pot just to give some ideas on who it could work for :
