Turn Your Bio-Lite Camp Stove Into An Indoor Heater

Bio-Lite Conversion To Indoor Heater Modification using Methyl Hydrate as fuel and a vent stack.

I know in the instructions it says to never use liquid fuels. So I am curious as to how it has held up to your rule breaking. I also really hope you have a CO2 sensor...

[@dinualexandru2155]

Great. Best combination.

[@CameraCommando]

Legit awesome. Have a fire extinguisher nearby, vent and be careful!

[@torontogrove5396]

Cool idea but you are getting co2 out of that. Need to vent the room like with a buddy heater

[@toxichammertoe8696]

Great idea for camping or if you're Doing stealth living in your vehicle

[@aerosmitch1]

Good idea... Thks bro

[@kyle_robinson]

Awesome!

Thanks Kyle

Could isopropyl alcohol be used in lieu of the methyl hydrate?

[@timefficient]

Nice video. Are there any safety precautions with the chemical you use?

[@timefficient]

and could you use this setup to cook food as an alternative to wood?

[@markambrozic6295]

Try to keep it from spilling anywhere. You should alright if you leave it in the fuel container

[@markambrozic6295]

@@timefficient you absolutely could

So you're just using the Biolite as a fan? I'm not familiar with this stove.

[@markambrozic6295]

yes pretty much. The fan stokes the flame and increases the temperature coming out from it. It works surprisingly well as a heater

[@243tarqui]

@@markambrozic6295 Isn't it also still producing electricity?

[@markambrozic6295]

@@243tarqui Yes!

[@stichtingmichael2015]

If you want it to last less long would you make a smaller fuel tank or decrease the amount of fuel?

[@markambrozic6295]

Yes that would be the natural tendancy

[@kanuckster1]

So that is safe indoors, just like that? I have know idea about this kind of stuff. What would the stack do? Nothing you have to vent outdoors? That would be very cool then.

[@markambrozic6295]

The stack concentrates the heat and the airflow so less heat is lost. Methyl Hydrate is used for cooking indoors and burns very clean. As long as you have good air circulation it is totally safe to do indoors.
