Nature Hike Double Burner Folding Stove Review: Two Burners at a Modest Price

Introduction

Two-burner camp stoves usually come in one of two forms: a bulky propane suitcase that lives in the garage, or a premium folding design with a premium price attached. The Nature Hike Double Burner Folding Stove takes a third route. It folds into a package roughly the size of a large book, opens into a 21-inch-wide cooking platform, and runs on isobutane canisters with 7,900 BTU available at each burner.

There is one important caveat before anything else. This stove is not sold in the United States, and Nature Hike has said that a technology-related issue prevents it from being offered there. Buyers in the US generally order it through AliExpress, where delivery can take a few weeks. That single detail shapes who this stove makes sense for.

What follows is a practical look at how the stove performs, what it does well, and the handful of quirks that are worth accepting before you commit to the wait.

Who This Stove Is For

At 4.7 pounds, the stove is not light, and that figure does not include a fuel canister. Nature Hike positions it for backpacking and hiking, but for most people that is an unrealistic pairing. Carrying a stove of this weight plus fuel on foot is a specialist choice rather than a sensible default.

Where the design lands squarely is vehicle-based camping. Overlanding, truck camping, car camping and basecamp setups are the natural home for a folding two-burner. It also appeals to anyone who wants two burners, real stability and quick deployment without paying four hundred dollars for the closest well-known alternative. If your cooking happens within a short walk of where you park, this stove fits the way you actually camp.

Main Strengths

The strengths here are not marketing claims. They are the things that keep showing up over months of ordinary use in a range of weather and temperatures.

Cooking Performance and Output

Each burner is rated at 7,900 BTU. That is not the most powerful stove system on the market, but it is more than enough for the jobs that matter: boiling water for coffee, boiling water for meals, frying, and simmering. The front of the stove carries the igniters and the output adjusters, and the fuel hose is detachable, roughly 13 inches long, and fitted with its own on and off valve.

Across a wide spread of conditions, the stove has boiled, fried and simmered without complaint. It is worth noting that the igniters do not always fire on the first press, a point covered in more detail below, but they have always lit the burner in the end.

Portability, Setup, and Stability

Deployment takes well under a minute. Unlatch the body, unfold it, flip the pot supports into the cooking position, attach the fuel, open the valve, set the output and press the igniter. Folded, the stove measures about 10.5 inches long, 8.5 inches wide and 5 inches thick. Opened, it stretches to 21 inches long and 8.5 inches wide while dropping to roughly 3 inches thick. Construction combines cold rolled plate stainless steel, iron and aluminum with some plastic and rubber feet.

Stability is one of the quieter advantages. The rubber feet on both burners are spaced widely enough that the platform stays planted, and it has never teetered in use. There is a grab handle on one burner, and the underside carries plenty of cutouts for ventilation and cooling.

Pot Supports and Everyday Usability

Two square pot supports come with the stove. They are elevated in the center, and they can be set in one of two orientations: cooking position on top, or flipped over for storage. They are stable and hold just about any pot, pan or kettle. The one exception is very small cookware, so a compact backpacking titanium cup may not sit securely on them.

Fuel efficiency is a subject where numbers tend to mislead. There is no universal standard for measuring stove fuel efficiency because so many variables are involved, including air temperature, wind, fuel temperature and the output level you are running. In practice, consumption has looked entirely normal and consistent with what a stove of this type should use. The green and black finish is also a nice touch in camp, giving the stove a purposeful look rather than a generic one.

Things to Consider Before Buying

A few details deserve attention before you order, because each of them is a real part of living with this stove.

There is no carry case or bag in the box. You will want to find something to protect the stove in transit, and a suitable bag is not included or specified.

The igniters work, but not with complete consistency. Sometimes the burner lights on a single press, and sometimes it takes as many as six clicks. In every case the burner has eventually lit, so this is a matter of patience rather than reliability.

There is no windscreen and no meaningful wind resistance in the design. In breezy conditions, plan on bringing a windscreen of your own.

The regulators are the biggest practical annoyance. Turning the output up is easy. Bringing it back down is not. When you drop the setting toward a simmer, the flame can dip and then rebound, which means repeated small adjustments to hold a steady low heat. If you are running one burner, the on and off valve on the hose gives you a way to fine-tune output and bypass the regulator. With both burners going, you have to hunt for the sweet spot, and it can take a moment to dial in accurately.

A hot plate is included as well. It was used once, made a considerable mess, and has been set aside since. Treat it as a bonus item rather than a reason to buy.

Finally, availability. The stove is not sold in the United States, and the practical route for US buyers is ordering from AliExpress with a wait that can run two to three weeks, sometimes closer to four.

Buying Advice

Pricing depends heavily on the seller. Listings have appeared as low as $85 with roughly $45 in shipping, most sellers offer the stove at about $120 with free shipping, and some ask $140. The general going rate sits around $120. At that figure, the value argument is straightforward, and the stove has even been found for $80 with free shipping in the past.

The natural comparison is the Jetboil Genesis, which lists at $400. The Genesis is a genuinely appealing system with a handsome color combination, and it does nothing meaningfully different from this stove. Paying three times as much for a similar job is a hard case to make, particularly when the savings could go toward pots, food and the trip itself. If the Genesis is what you want, it is a fine choice. If you want to spend less and still cook well, this is the more sensible route.

Budget for two extras alongside the stove: a windscreen for exposed campsites and a bag to carry it in. Neither is included, and both make the stove noticeably easier to live with. As long as you are comfortable ordering from AliExpress and waiting a couple of weeks, the value case holds up. If you need the stove to arrive quickly or prefer to buy from a local retailer, this one will not suit you, and that is the honest limit of the recommendation.

Conclusion

The Nature Hike Double Burner Folding Stove is not perfect, but it has no serious flaws either. It cooks well, deploys quickly, sits stable on uneven ground, and folds into something you can tuck into a vehicle without a second thought. The slow-blooming igniters, the fiddly regulators and the missing windscreen are all workarounds rather than dealbreakers, and the low simmer behavior is manageable with a little practice.

For vehicle-based campers who want two burners without paying a premium price, this stove makes a great deal of sense. For backpackers, or for anyone who needs fast domestic shipping and local availability, it does not. Judge it against how you actually camp, and the decision becomes simple.
