BioLite Fire Pit
This year, BioLite has taken its culinary skills even further, using fans to assist. Furnace For backyard and outdoor use. FirePit’s main innovation is smoke reduction. That’s because, while a slightly fragrant fire smell is nice, smoke can quickly become your camper’s worst enemy when a change in wind turns your relaxed sit-down into a watery-eyed cough.
Unlike your average campfire pit, BioLite’s FirePit uses a battery-powered set of air jets to oxygenate a natural wood fire, making combustion much more efficient and smokeless. The intensity of these jets can be controlled via the FirePit itself or the Bluetooth app. So you can enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and warmth of a real wood fire without the aggressive smoke.
The FirePit’s 10,400 mAh battery can be removed for charging and can also charge mobile devices. With a removable brazier grate and wood/charcoal function, the FirePit easily functions as a grill. All in all, it looks like a smart and versatile addition to any campground.

cafrano compressor espresso maker
Beanscorp’s Cafflano Klassic pourover and Kompact immersion press portable coffee systems have won numerous awards over the years, including outdoor-specific awards from ISPO and the OutDoor Friedrichschafen show. Beanscorp introduced a go-anywhere brewing solution for espresso enthusiasts this year, making the 7.1 oz (200 g) Kompresso the lightest portable coffee maker in its lineup.
When it comes to making espresso, Beanscorp has opted not for basic pneumatic compression, instead relying on a piston-based hydraulic process that it says applies a much more stable pressure of 9 bar throughout the brewing process. The Kompresso hardware measures 6.7 x 3.9 inches (17 x 10 cm packaging), and its small, light, and easy-to-clean design for travel will be appreciated at camp.
Beanscorp successfully held a Kickstarter for Kompresso in June, available on Amazon for $119.99.
