FOLDING CAMPING STOVE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store an appliance and protect it during conveyance, in a folding camping stove.SOLUTION: The folding camping stove 20 may be formed into a two-folded (clamshells 24 and 26) shape, having two clamshells that fold outward to expose at least two cooking surfaces. The respective clamshells are rotated around a separate pivot point. Fuel trains 28 and 30 for the clamshells are positioned at the pivot point. A regulator and manifold assembly is provided to supply gas from a container to the folding stove. The manifold splits the gas coming from the regulator and directs it to opposite sides of the folding stove. Each of the clamshells includes a cooking grate. The cooking grates appear symmetrical from a top view, but are slightly offset relative to one another so that the clamshells may be folded inward relative to each other and the grates may nest together.
