REI’s ongoing sale has major discounts on past-season camping essentials, but there’s plenty of great outdoor equipment you can use this spring and summer. Everything from bestselling tents to hiking footwear and even camping blankets are on sale for as much as 60% off. But one deal that needs to be on every camper’s radar is on a top-rated camp stove that’s now nearly half off.
Zempire’s 2-Burner High-Pressure Camping Stove is normally $279, but the popular grill just got a 46% discount, dropping the price to $150. It’s currently among the top 5 bestselling camp stoves at REI with reviews that rave about its performance. As is the case with many REI sales, the best savings are on discontinued styles as brands clear out old stock to make room for new gear. That’s the case here, so you’ll want to act fast before it sells out for good.
Zempire 2-Burner Deluxe & Grill High-Pressure Camping Stove, $150 (was $279) at REI
The stove uses propane and has a 10,000 BTU output per burner with an automatic ignition designed to make it easy to light. Each burner can be individually adjusted, much like a regular stove, allowing for precise cooking. The windshields provide plenty of coverage, and they double as a protective cover. The coolest feature is the lower grill, which allows you to cook underneath the stove with the included tray much like you would use a broiler.
Shoppers say one of the best aspects of this grill is its ability to deliver a lot of heat. One wrote, “It can pump out a lot of gas to boil water quickly, and you can turn it down quite low for a slow simmer.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing that they have used it “camping all summer, in all weather conditions,” adding that it “keeps food warm and boils water very quickly.”
Others appreciated the stove’s spacious cooking area. One wrote that it’s “easy to set up, [with] lots of space to cook and even [has] a handy grill.”
Some even compared it favorably to other brands, with one calling it, “Better built than my Coleman.” Another wrote, “I wanted a higher output stove, as our Coleman took forever to boil a pot of water.” They added, “The higher output stoves were all pretty expensive. Never heard of the Zempire brand, but it was reasonably priced, and I love that it has the grill built in so you can prepare your entire meal at once.”
Being the campsite grillmaster is a fun but serious responsibility that’s made easier with Zempire’s powerful camp stove. At its $150 price, this deluxe two-burner stove and grill combo is less expensive than some single burners. You’ll want to act fast while it’s still in stock to have this cooking with you on your next trip.
