This has looked cool, ever since I saw it announced, a peltier in a stove - how awesome! i just can bring myself to pony up the cash as I fear it would fall short of my expectations. kind of like this real world test. http://indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/adventure-tested-biolite...

Just to nitpick: it's using the seebeck effect not the peltier effect, they're the reverse of one another.

good point, should have said TE or thermoelectric, i just learned of the device as a peltier junction even though it has 3 different names depending on the mode. at work we call it a TEC based on how we use it, but the best most generic name is TE.
