  • by

Thanks for checking out our review of the Pomoly stove. Many of us think of camping as a summertime, or maybe early fall, activity. But for some, camping can be a year round activity. Pomoly started out by making hot tents that are durable and can stand up to virtually any weather conditions – winds, heavy snow and rain.

What Features To Consider Before Buying A Wood Burning Camp Stove

Before you make your purchase, there are a few things you should think about. Here are some ideas to keep in mind when you start narrowing down your purchase decision.

Will you be camping or backpacking?

If you’re going to a campsite, where you can drive fairly close to your campsite, you may want a larger stove. A larger stove allows you to add more wood at once which makes it easier to maintain a fire. It also provides more cooking room.

The downside is that it is bigger and heavier and not something you’ll want to lug around on your back (assuming the model you choose is even able to be broken down) for miles and miles. A smaller stove will be easier to carry however it is smaller – that means you’ll be adding wood more often and won’t have as much cooking area.

What is the stove made of?

Anyone who has ever cooked over an open fire knows that it can be tough on not only your pots and pans but the stove itself. These wood burning camp stoves get hot, that’s the idea, but if they’re not made of quality materials and craftmanship they won’t last. The two stove we’ve reviewed in this article are extremely durable and will hold up to the heat. One is made of titanium and the other stainless steel. Both will hold up over the long term.

Anything else?

Not really. Normally we’d discuss fuel types but since this article is specifically about wood burning camp stoves, that’s already been covered! Size and materials have also been covered. It mostly comes down to how you’ll use your stove, backpacking or car camping, where you won’t have to carry the stove too far.

One thing to keep in mind is that these stoves are made to use inside the tent. That is a different type of stove than what most people use when camping.

FAQ

Can I use other things like dried leaves or pine needles in a camping wood stove?

Most wood camping stoves will also accept other natural materials such as leaves and pine needles. But, to be sure, read your owners manual before you try to add anything other than wood.


Can I actually cook meals on my wood stove?

Yes, maybe. It depends on the accessories you have and, to a lesser degree, the size of your stove. Smaller, more compact stoves may not have enough room for larger pots or pans which might limit your meal prep somewhat. Make sure you take this into consideration when picking out your new stove.

Are there any tricks to starting a fire when it’s wet?

Think like a Boy Scout and always be prepared! Carry waterproof matches or a fire starter. These will help get the fire going even if it’s wet and damp outside.

How do I maintain my wood burning stove?

Maintaining a wood camping stove is pretty easy. Empty the ashes frequently, keep all components wiped down and clean and store the stove somewhere dry so the stove doesn’t corrode. Also, check your owners manual for model specific tips to keep your new stove working, and looking, like new for longer.

Pomoly Stove Review – The Bottom Line

I hope you found this article helpful. Camping, backpacking and spending time outside enjoying everything nature has to offer are great activities. But, you don’t have to suffer in cold and damp. A quality wood stove, whether ultra compact for backpacking or a little larger for campsites, can make a huge difference in your comfort level.

The two Pomoly stoves we discussed in this review are both well made and very well reviewed by other buyers. Which model you choose is really just about your needs. If you’re going to be backpacking and need a smaller size, and lighter, stove, the POMOLY Ti Mini 0.6 Portable Lightweight Titanium Stove is the best option due to it’s lightweight and portable design.

But, if you’re camping in an area that isn’t too far from where you’re car is parked, and you need something bigger, the POMOLY Dweller Stainless Steel Stove for Hot Tent Camping is the better option. Bigger, more heating and cooking space means less refilling the wood and more opportunities to make larger meals.

Either way, you can’t go wrong. Have a blast out there!
