NEAR ZERO Ultralight Camping Stove – Portable Foldable Backpacking Stove for Hiking & Outdoor Cooking

Meet the NEAR ZERO Ultralight Camping Stove, a palm sized heat source designed for backcountry cooking. Weighing only 1.6 ounces and measuring 1 by 1 by 2 inches when folded, it hides in your pack yet remains ready to perform when you need a dependable flame. The compact profile pairs with serrated pot support feet that expand to cradle a range of pot sizes, from a small kettle to a compact pot for dehydrated meals.

On the trail, controlled heat matters as much as speed. The stove features an adjustable control valve that lets you dial in the heat after ignition. It stays compact and foldable, so you can set it up on uneven ground or in a windy site and know what to expect from the flame. The high speed central flame distributes heat evenly, helping you reach a rolling boil quickly. In practice, it can bring about 2 cups of water to a boil in roughly 2 minutes with the right pot and fuel canister.

Real-life scenarios

Imagine a chilly alpine morning when you need a hot cup of tea, or a late afternoon in a remote campsite where a quick boil means fresh coffee after a long trek. The stove’s compact form lets you tuck it into a small pocket or your belt pouch, then deploy it in moments for a supportive cooking setup.

Beyond coffee and oats, you can prepare simple soups or rehydrated meals, relying on the consistent flame to manage heat across different pot sizes. The included hard case provides protection during transit, while the soft bag offers a discreet stow when space is tight.
