The 'Enki Stove Wild' looks nothing like the traditional design of cooking stoves that one would find in the camping supply aisle, but it proves it's ready to deliver performance. Coming in both the Wild and Wild+ options, the 'Enki Stove Wild' runs on biomass to get the stove going. From here, it can utilize the accompanying battery or solar panel to keep the stove cooking.

The 'Enki Stove Wild' is currently available on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-systems) for preorder with orders set to be fulfilled as soon as June of this year. This would allow it to be used for summer camping trips and much more immediately.

The 'Enki Stove Wild' cooking stove is crafted in Italy and features an eco-friendly design aesthetic that makes the most of natural fuel.
