A Product That Demonstrates Itself
Turner asked for £45,000 for a quarter of the company, built around a thermoelectric plate, hot on one face, cool on the other, with that temperature gap generating enough current to top up a phone while dinner cooks.
Peter Jones funded the full amount. Solving two problems at once, cooking and keeping a phone charged, with nothing plugged into the mains, is the sort of trick that plays well on camera and keeps working long after the broadcast ends.
Sold Widely, Then Went Quiet
In the years right after the episode, the stove made it onto real shelves at outdoor specialists on both sides of the Atlantic, including OutdoorGB and CampSaver, with genuine early buzz and interest from abroad.
More recently, one major retailer marks the original gas-powered version as discontinued, while a different website using the Tegstove name now reads like a climate-focused research effort rather than a shop selling camping gear.
Where The Stove Sits Now
This product had a real, multi-year run in actual shops, which is further than most gadgets from this show ever get.
Anyone hoping to buy one should check with an outdoor retailer directly.
