$22 Folding Camp Stove Review

Overall Value

I own a few different camp stoves, including a Primus gasoline/diesel powered stove, the Cobb Grill Premiere,and the uber high tech BioLite Campstove 2.  For $22, I have ZERO regrets.  It made a excellent last second present for my 11 year old and it’s size and simplicity make it an easy choice to always have in the car. And, It’s so small when folded, you can set it up and cook anywhere there are twigs. We use it for impromptu beach cooking.

Less setup = Less Clean up.  This grill takes 15-20 seconds to set up and cools down quickly when you need to pack up.  

Downsides?

The trendy compact size of this grill is also it’s downside.  You’ll be restricted to thing like kabobs and smaller cuts of meat/fish.  I think there could be a design to maximize cooking surface area while keeping compact.  I haven’t seen one yet.   Also, due to it’s small size, to keep this going, you have to have a little pile of wood/twigs and consistently feed it.  This is the way it is with any of these smaller form factor grills. You’re NOT going to fit a log in there.

You can however use other “less fun” fuel sources such as propane or charcoal.  I have comfortably cooked steaks, cuadrados and kabobs for 2 people on the beach with this thing.

Get it here.  $22
