Abstract: A thermoelectric generation unit for a cookstove or other heat source is described. The thermoelectric generation unit includes a probe, a thermoelectric module, and a fluid reservoir. The probe draws heat from a heat source such as a wood cookstove. The thermoelectric module generates an electric current based on a heat gradient created by different temperatures of contents of the fluid reservoir and the probe.
