This has already been done in a commercial way. I like the BioLite CampStove. Its design is really efficient, you create alot of heat, real fast, enough to boil water quickly, or cook an egg. And since it produces alot of heat, plenty of energy for those Peltiers to generate electricity. Check out BioLite...

I noticed that the red terminal wire was soldered on the negative (-) and the black terminal on the positive (+) terminal. As rule of thumb, red must be connected to + terminal, and black to the (-) neg. terminal. This is DC voltage source and it has polarity, how come it's connected like that?

In regular DC operation red wire (+) provides the power but when you are charging the battery the process becomes inverted thats why here its like that.
