Zempire Stealth-Jet two-burner camp stove is incredibly slim at 2-inch thick

Posted on by

When you’re packing for a family camping trip, you have to be extra cautious about the amount of space your essential gear will take up. There are portable and transportable options for everything from furniture to tents and fittingly, now you have stoves capable of sliding under the flip seat of your rig or fit the back pocket of the driver’s seat. Zempire in the US is creating a Stealth-Jet camping stove series, targeted ideally at people who want to camp light, without compromising their cooking experience.

The ultra-thin profile of the Zempire stoves is definitely among the slimmest in the industry. Measuring only 2 inches thick, these dual-burner stoves are designed to travel easily and have enough heat to boil water in a breeze. Featuring two high-power burners with up to 10,000 BTUs of heat per burner, Stealth-Jet stoves, the company claims, are designed to be ultimate camping companions for cooking family meals or catering to large groups at the campsite.

While the Zempire Stealth-Jet camp stoves are designed to cater to the cooking needs of a group of people outdoors, these can double as emergency backup for power outages at home. While this is only an extension service, the main USP of the ultra-low-profile stove is definitely the industry-defining slimness. This allows the stove – made from powder-coated pressed steel – to pack down flat for convenient transportation. Interestingly, the stoves arrive in a carry case with a handle and latch closure, which makes them incredibly portable and effortless to carry.

Accompanying the slimness of the stove is its extra-wide surface. While the former offers portability, the latter ensures the stove can accommodate large pans and pots for cooking large meal portions. Providing campers with an extra cooking surface to work with, the stoves feature high-power twin burners. Reportedly, each of them offers up to 10,000 BTUs of heat per burner. Relatively, for a single burner, the total BTU output is low, but if you consider the total output and the fact that you can easily accommodate a large pan and a pot side by side, you will spend less time cooking and more time relaxing at the camp.

The Stealth-Jet stoves come with wind blockers on the back and sides, offering consistent flame without hindrance in the outdoors. The stoves run off both propane and butane, ignited by two pull-start piezo knobs each (the Solo model, of course, has one adjustable gas knob). The Zempire provides its camping stove series unit with a propane canister hose connector in the box. The carry case, however, has to be purchased separately.

Stealth-Jet camp stoves are offered in three different sizes (slimness, however, is the same 2-inch or 5 cm in all of them): Stealth-Jet Wide, Twin, and Solo Camp Stoves. Starting at $210, the Stealth-Jet Wide Camp Stove is the largest of the trio, measuring 23.2 x 12.0 x 2.0 inches when packed. It weighs 4.9 kg. The Twin stove is slightly smaller at 18.5 x 12.0 x 2.0 inches, which also means it weighs slightly lighter at 3.82 kg only. It is priced at $170. The single-burner Solo stove weighs 2.6 kg and offers up to 10,000 BTUs of heat. It will cost you $130.

Jetboil TrailCook Stove System combines fast boiling with precise camp cooking control

Posted on by

Jetboil has long been associated with fast, efficient backcountry camping stoves designed primarily for boiling water. Over the years, the brand’s integrated cooking systems have become a familiar sight in backpacks thanks to their compact form and rapid heating performance. With the TrailCook series, Jetboil expands on that reputation by introducing a stove system designed not just for boiling water, but for preparing more varied meals in remote outdoor environments.

The TrailCook 1.2-liter Stove System centers around Jetboil’s FluxRing heat-exchange technology, which concentrates heat around the base of the cooking pot for improved efficiency. By capturing and directing heat more effectively than traditional backpacking stoves, the system minimizes wasted fuel while reducing boil times. The regulated burner delivers around 6,000 BTU per hour and can bring half a liter of water to a boil in roughly two minutes and fifteen seconds, allowing hikers and campers to quickly prepare coffee, instant meals, or hot drinks after a long day on the trail.

Designer: JetBoil

Unlike many lightweight stove systems that focus almost entirely on rapid boiling, the TrailCook emphasizes cooking control. Jetboil integrates a proprietary fuel regulator that allows the flame to shift smoothly between a gentle simmer and a strong boil. This incremental adjustment makes it possible to sauté ingredients or cook more elaborate meals rather than relying solely on boil-and-eat options. The regulator also helps maintain steady performance as fuel pressure changes, ensuring consistent heat output even in cooler conditions.

The included 1.2-liter cook pot is designed with a ceramic-coated interior that helps prevent food from sticking and makes cleanup easier in the outdoors. An easy-on, easy-off lid features a handling tab that allows users to stir or monitor food without fully removing the lid, while integrated straining holes make it simple to drain liquids directly from the pot. A folding silicone handle provides a secure grip when the pot is hot and locks the lid in place when the system is packed for travel.

Ease of use is another key element of the design. The TrailCook incorporates a turn-and-click ignition system that lights the stove quickly without the need for matches or a separate lighter. A self-centering pot support keeps the cooking vessel stable during use and can also accommodate additional cookware up to about 9 inches in diameter and roughly 2 liters in capacity. This compatibility allows campers to use frying pans or other pots if they want to expand their outdoor cooking setup.

For groups or larger meals, Jetboil also offers a TrailCook 2.0-liter version of the system. The larger model includes a Dutch-oven-style pot designed to serve two to four people while maintaining the same regulated burner and FluxRing efficiency. It can boil one liter of water in about four minutes and fifteen seconds, offering similar performance while increasing cooking capacity.

Portability remains central to the TrailCook design. The entire system nests neatly inside the cooking pot, helping conserve valuable pack space during backpacking trips. The bottom cover doubles as both a measuring cup and a small bowl, reducing the number of extra utensils hikers need to carry.

Weighing about 19.4 ounces without fuel, the TrailCook 1.2-liter system remains lightweight enough for backpacking while still providing genuine cooking flexibility. A single 100-gram JetPower fuel canister typically boils 10 to 12 liters of water, underscoring the stove’s efficient fuel use on extended trips.

By combining Jetboil’s signature fast-boiling performance with improved flame control and practical cookware design, the TrailCook system broadens what campers can realistically cook in the backcountry while keeping the entire setup compact and travel-friendly. The Trailcook 1.2L retails for US$ 180, and the 2.0L version for US$200.

Foldable heater and camping stove concept attaches to your bike for outdoor adventures

Posted on by

Those who enjoy spending time outdoors regularly or occasionally need to have a lot of tools with them especially if they will be spending the night camping. There are a lot of different products that they can bring along but if you’re just biking, you need some things that are more portable since you can only carry so much. There are also designers that are more into creating concepts and sometimes actual products to cater to this market.

Designer: Andrea Casagrande

The Leikki is a concept for wood-burning camping stove that is all about portability. The design is inspired by the Risuketin, a traditional Finnish stove found in homes that serve as heaters and as cooking stoves. The designer was also inspired by hexagon shapes since it is “the most efficient way to organize a space symmetrically”. What he came up with is a lightweight stove that is easy to assemble and bring around even if your transportation is only a bike.

The assembly process only takes three basic steps if you’re able to follow instructions easily. Open the gusset face, insert the different grills, and then close the whole thing with a pin. On paper it should be pretty easy and I assume that most hikers and campers are good at following instructions. There’s an upper hole where you can inser twigs and then to insert wood, lift the pan and then put it inside.

The stove can fit different types and sizes of pots and pans and you need to place different support pieces depending on the size. If you don’t have wood to cook, you can take the ash pan, turn it upside down and then place on the top of the grate then use solid fuel or alcohol. It comes with a case which you can strap to your bike and also place other stuff inside that you may need to bring on your trip.
