    #JASTEK_LED_CABLE

    Like the previous multi-charging cable, I like the idea of having one cable that can charge all of my handheld devices.  Today I am going to review the 4 in 1 Multiple USB Charging Cable with LED Lighting from JASTEK.  I was invited to review this product, and did receive it at no cost in exchange for an honest review.

    I got this cable because I was very happy with the colorful charger I reviewed earlier, but the colors turned me off.  I liked the features, but my OCD can’t stand the rainbow effect.

    I think this one looks much more professional, and it works well.

    I don’t know if I like the LED light yet, it is handy at night, but the blinking patterns are a little distracting at times.

    Unlike the previous JASTEK product, this version did not have the clip at the top.  I liked the clip, but this one seems sturdier.

    The big difference in the Multiple USB Charging Cable was that this version did not charge two phones at once.

    This is a big difference to me, which makes me like the colorful one better because I have a work and personal phone.  However, if I only had one phone I would much prefer this one.

    A few weeks ago we showed how to make a small rocket stove using a recycled #10 can and a few old soup cans.

    It was a cool project, but I quickly got a couple emails from people wanting to see how to actually use the darn thing.

    It is pretty simple and I am going to show you how to light and set about using a rocket stove.

    Its called a rocket stove because the design causes a draft much like a rocket, so it WANTS to burn.

    Simple wad up some newspaper or other tinder and stick inside the top chimney,

    Then insert a couple of small sticks of kindling – larger than a stalk of wheat, but smaller than a pencil – into the top of the chimney.

    Light it, and when the kindling catches on fire, insert more kindling in the upper half of the fire hole.

    Air will be pulled in through the bottom half of the fire hole and will totally consume the ends of the sticks.

    If properly fueled and fully lit, there will be little or no smoke.

    As you can see in the video below, only a few twigs heated up my cast iron skillet hot enough to burn my hotdogs.

    The beauty of this type of stove is how much heat you get from a small amount of wood that otherwise would be too small to be useful – this allows you to practice your technique often.

    Have fun, and try not to burn your house down as the stove gets very hot.
