Is the Hike Crew 2 in 1 Camping Stove and Grill Easy to Pack and Clean?

Published 11/13/2026

Question:

Were trying to get our camping gear organized before our next trip, and Im looking for something that doesnt take up half the back of the SUV. I came across the Hike Crew 2 in 1 Camping Stove and Grill HK78FR, and I like the idea of having a burner and griddle together instead of packing two separate things. How compact is it when everything is folded up? And is the griddle easy to clean after cooking bacon and eggs, or am I going to be stuck scrubbing it at the campsite?

Hi Theo! The Hike Crew 2-in-1 Gas Camping Stove and Grill # HK78FR is a nice way to cut down on the amount of cooking gear you're hauling around. You've got a 10,000 Btu burner on one side and a 3,000 Btu griddle on the other, so you can make breakfast without packing a separate stove and griddle. The legs fold up, and it comes with a carrying bag to keep everything together. The listed dimensions are 23-5/8 inches wide, 12-5/8 inches tall, and 3-7/8 inches deep, although I'd want to confirm those are the folded measurements before using them to plan your storage space.

And I hear you on the cleanup! Nobody wants to spend their morning scrubbing pans when they could be enjoying their coffee. This one has a removable stainless steel drip tray that makes cleaning up grease and cooking drippings easier. You'll still need to wipe down the cooking surface, but at least you're not trying to clean around a bunch of trapped grease. It also has a push button igniter and folding wind panels, which are nice when you're cooking outside.

Are you usually camping somewhere with a picnic table to cook on, or do you bring your own cooking table?
