In this video we tested the Pan Charger, a thermoelectric generator also known as the Hatsuden Nabe, with the "Stove In A Can". We verified that the Stove In A Can produces enough BTU energy to be used as a heat source for the Hatsuden Nabe fire-powered USB charging generator. (An important factor to remember with this Stove In A Can is that on the can itself, it recommends to only use it outdoors.) Connected to the Pan Charger was a fully discharged iPhone 4S. The iPhone charged enough in 12 minutes to be able to power up and make a call! All in all, we were impressed with the amount of heat the Stove In A Can produced and the fuel even lasted for about an hour! The heat output did drop off significantly near the end, even though it appeared there was still a viable amount of fuel left. One thing to note is that the fuel is wax/sawdust based and does emit a smell similar to when you blow out a candle. It also produced a sizable amount of soot on the bottom of the pan that was difficult to clean, ultimately requiring the use of denatured alcohol to get it all off. Even seeing the amount of soot left on the bottom of the Pan Charger as a result of using the Stove-In-A-Can, it was still surprising to see how much the outside of the can itself had blackened. After one use, a portion of the painted-on label had burned off the can and a large amount of soot replaced it. We think a better design would be to put the printing on a removable paper label.
