[Stoves] Hand Crank Dynamo for Fanned Stove?

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Jeff and All:

I hope someone can enlighten me. 

I bought one of the Harbor Freight Hand Crank generators and it might 
very well power the WoodGas stove.  However, Ihave also bought a number 
of solar generators and they generate more than enough power to operate 
our stove.  There are a number of different kinds,mostly for LED lights 
and very cheap.

What is wrong with the fan-battery-solar charger that everyone seems 
keen on replacing with more expensive alternatives?
