[Stoves] Woodgas Camp Stove XL - Now available

[Jonathan Pratt]

George,

That's a great suggestion.  Please tell me what model the details are on 
that Nokia adaptor.

Because the stove has mostly been for portable use in the recreational 
markets in developed countries and not for indoor use it hasn't been 
necessary to consider running the stove on AC power.  However with the XL 
for regular family cooking I believe this to be a critical step.

Aside from an AC adaptor we offer a solar charger that can be used to charge 
the 2 AA batteries used to power the stove.  Also because the XL will run 
about 8 hrs on battery power, just using batteries even is not as 
inconvenient as it might seem, particularly if you use rechargables and just 
charge the AA's every few days to once a week for regular operation.  You 
can always just use a regular AA battery charger (aside from the solar 
charger we sell) to charge up the needed batteries for the stove.
