You’ll be lucky to charge a cell phone on that setup. It’s a neat idea, but thermoelectric generators are extremely expensive for the power they produce. Most of the ones you see around produce 2-3 watts at the most.

There is one company making bigger units for wood stoves: [http://www.tegpower.com/](http://www.tegpower.com/) Their 200w model will set you back $1,900.
