T1 PERSPECTIVE Stove | Titanium Wood Stove for Hot Tent | POMOLY 2022

Seems like the length of a review is limited - ok - I busted it ;-D.
Here comes PART 2 of my review
(...) Using dried oak 30cm/11.8 inch logs my stove burns comfortably about 60-max 90 minutes after which I have to reload it. (I have not yet used softwood though which will come later this winter when we go high and cannot carry wood climbing up the high mountain). Fueling it like this makes it pretty cumbersome to keep the tent consistently warm. However: As my stove got somehow congested with not fully burned wood just underneath the damper (at the other end of the oven/loading door) I will now try 3 things:
1 - bring a little steel rod to redistribute stuck coal that blocks (part of) the chimney outlet in the burn chamber
2 - bring some compressed wood bricks for the sleeping hours and see if the burning time is increasing/the ash production more even.
3 - to flip the stove lid so the air intake and the exhaust outlet are on the same side. Saw some YT people doing this who were happy with the result.

Heat distribution
The glass windows of the T1 Perspective work wonders (I place my oven with the large window facing the sleeping area) - the titanium back holds the heat sufficiently away from my tent. Also the stove tent is not distributing crazy heat to the floor, a fact I was amazed to see. Overall I am happy with the heat distribution. However, I will try an induction fan next time to see if this even improves the heat distribution especially at low/slow burn rate.

Heat safety:
I constructed my jack whole so that the pipe is always at least 30 cm / 11 inch away from the tent and the oven is 60cm/22 inch away from the tent walls. I also reinforced the stove facing tent wall with an additional center rope (my local outdoor shop did this for me) so I can keep away the stove facing tent wall at heavy winds. Plus: I still use my carbon monoxide detector, safetey first.

Upgrade ideas:
1. doubling the size the air intake knob
2, Would love to see an attachable hot water tank as this is (besides the obvious advantage to have a constant supply of warm water in the tent)
- another heat storage and
- a heat protection shield
3. attachable stone cage: Great for heat storage (and outdoor tent sauna experiences)

So - thats it for the moment. Will keep testing it this winter in pretty much all Swiss Mountain conditions and then give my long time review late March.
With that - keep pushing out in the snow and pure nature - that's what makes life worth living!
Have fun :-)

Hey there you crazy cool winter outdoorers ;-D,
here come my 2 cents from the first nights out in a tent with the Pomoly T1 Perspective stove. Don't take my opinion for granted and always with a grain of salt as this is my very subjective review and might most likely not reflect other opinions.

General:
In general the Pomoly T1 Perspective is a great, lightweight and packable outdoor bushcraft took that makes me and my sons (5 and 11 years old) capable of bearing high alpine winter overnights (beyond 1500 meters altitude) where it needs to warm a adapted 3 season tent for 3-5 Persons. and develop a cosy warm environment, in harsh circumstances such as snow storms a less cozy yet save overnight environment. I transport it as a backpack item as well as with the pulka sledge .

The Start:
The unpacking was a delight - all in perfect condition, great and break safe package, very handy bag. The built quality is superb, only the damper welding spots seemed not up to the standard, however works perfectly fine so far. After a thorough burn in for a around 3 hours in the plain open of my garden I did the first test night in my winter adapted (=stove jack) 3 season dome tent at zero degree Celsius (32 F). Went in with my two boys and it worked without any issues. Also put in (safety first) a carbon monoxide detector - yet - no alarm in 10 h burning time at all levels of heat/amber.

Time to get a tent warm
Tent went warm super quickly and close to no smoke leakage into the tent. Had to fiddle around quite a bit though until I found the sweet spot of my oven between the right amount of Air Intake and Damper closure - but hey - that's true for any oven you use for the first time. Only complain (small one) would be the air intake knob - that's a real pitn when you want to adjust in the pitch dark. If double the length that would be a HUGE improvement for better/great air intake handling.

Chimney
The roll up chimney is a great thing - formed it by using the pool noodle rolling trick and burned it in prior to my first tent usage (see above). Rolling it (small or long) now works perfectly. No fumes leakage into the tent!

Spark arrestor
This little animal is a handy one as it also helps stabilizing my 9.84ft / 3m pipe. It also keeps sparks away from the tent perfectly so far (no strong wind test done though). HOWEVER: 2 things I don't like so far:
1. when applying ropes to the carbines provided with the spark arrestor the ropes tend to melt/burn due to the (seemingly still) hot exhaust fumes up there (9.84ft / 3m pipe).
Quick Fix Solution: I built a workaround with 360 degree turnable aluminum carbines that hold the ropes in good distance from the heat while not conducting the heat directly due to its 2 part moving design.
2. small drops of tar water have been dripping on my tent which are not fully removable anymore hence make persisting black stains. . Not a big thing - just an optical flaw.

Burn time
Using dried oak 30cm/11.8 inch logs my stove burns comfortably about 60-max 90 minutes after which I have to reload it. (I have not yet used softwood though which will come later this winter when we go high and cannot carry wood climbing up the high mountain). Fueling it like this makes it pretty cumbersome to keep the tent consistently warm.

no problems with the stove, even though i wish i bought the t-brick for its upgraded rib/baffle reinforcements, the deformation is minimal on this stove and should last very long. this stove in a hot tent makes winter camping enjoyable. and such a wonder material titanium is, to watch it glow red and then to see the blue/purple temper on its surface afterwards is mesmerizing.

Bought our T1 PERSPECTIVE pomoly titian lightweight fold away stove. Its great we use it with our pomloy tent the hex plus. 5 metre.
Wow. We love our stove the window makes it very cosy, the stove is very efficient and effective. We bought the extra chimley section top middle and bottom to make it more sturdy in the wind. The roll out chimley I have bought two. The weather in cumbria can be harsh.
Making our stove fantastic, using our hot tents more..
Below a picture of my partner with the T1. Bought for his birthday:) back in 2020.

Great quality stove that easily heated my Hussar Plus hot tent. Outside temperature was 28 degrees and inside the tent was 78 degrees. Further, after learning how to control the vent and dampener, wood burn was extremely efficient.

Ordered this stove along with the Manta tent about a year ago, definitely have someone help with rolling the chimney the first time. I've used the tent and stove dozens of times, in wind, heavy rain, snow, down to negative 20c and this little stove kept us comfortable and warm evey time. Set up is fool proof, I have an older version without any of the reinforcing they added, no issues as of yet, and I've had this thing glowing red hot for hrs.
Planning on getting the racks and oven at some point, and then a smaller version without the side glass for solo trips in smaller tents. I'm convinced the 1mm thick stoves are the way to go, and I love the fast fold options. No fideling with parts when your hands are frozen, just flip, clip into place, and light . The only gripe I have, is when your in bed in the Manta half tent liner, the side glass on the stove is facing away from you, and it takes awhile to figure out how to get keep your stove burning slow enough to keep you warm most of the night.

Considering the price, the stove is not bad.

Great little stove. Easy to use, light weight and puts out a ton of heat!!

that's a verry good stove the five star are for the stove, put if your are looking for winter camping i dont recommand the rolling pipe, because once it is in place its not easy to remove and replace back on the stove for cleaning purpouse and you need to clean the pipe cause you will not have air flow otherwise, i dont recomande rolling stove pipe they are cheap maybe good for summer but not for winter camping. mine broke have to cut it to put it back, field tested here.

It was very warm and the chimney pipe perfectly kept the smoke away from those around.

Stove just came in today, super excited about it. But waft are the little clips and nuts for?

So far I love it! It definitely retains heat in the tent. Warm and cozy. I’m starting a YouTube channel to tell people what a great product this is.

Very good build quality and over all good service, wish the restocking of items that are out of stock was a bitt faster, im waiteing to buy the pomoly gimball table.

Top build quality, might not be as light as some other titanium stoves but the ease of setting it up and high build quality is worth the small weight trade off.

I ordered this stove and had reservations on spending as much as I did, but once assembled and I used it I am glad I did. The pipe is 100% sealed and the stove throws heat out like crazy. I bought a tent too and with the stove it got so warm in the tent I had to take my jacket off. Outside temperature was about 30 degree Fahrenheit or -1 degree Celsius. Love the stove and tent, both assembled easily and work well!

The stove I purchased was awesome... Works great and could not find any faults with the product... But I do have a suggestion for the poker that came with the stove.... I feel it would be a little more usd
useful if the end of the poker was flattened out slightly so it was a little more effective at getting the Ash out of the stove.... I belive this would make it an even more useful tool. But other than that... 5 star product.

I purchased the T1 Perspective stove. I had to seriously consider spending $500 on a tent stove but you get what you pay for and this stove is no exception. It’s build quality is absolutely first rate and the quick fold design is lovely. I haven’t been this pleased with a new piece of kit in a long time!

I would like to say first that i love your gear but i did find some defects and damage on my first outting.
The papper bag case for the t1 perspective is at first sight a disaster waiting to happen and sure enough the handle stitches pulled away from the brown paper bad material. There's nothing to stop the tear from getting bigger and bigger every time i grab the handle. Haveing the stove in a pack o. Its own is crucial. Containing the ash and soot from the stove pipe. Especially how easy it is to loose the stove pipe rings.
My second issue was with the Manta. Everything seemed well built but as soon as i felt how thin the zippers were i was sure id have an issue with them too and sure enough. On my second night out with it the zipper pull broke. Being able to zip the tent seems pretty crucial also.
So it seems its good quality gear but then the skimp on crucial tiny things like zipper pulls and the case it comes with. For the money i paid for both , nearly $1000 id expect it to last longer then it did.
I must say im disappointed and let down. It breaks my heart because i do love the gear. Lol Hopefully Pomoly will fix these issues. Im relying on this gear to hold up and if it doesn't it could make for a miserable experience or even worse.

My stove smokes toxic fumes. Is there a period of burning that it need, before it will burn clean?

Just an amazing little stove, it throws the heat like crazy. Wish i had of ordered stove with both sides glass tho.
