The Dickinson Bering is a high-performance diesel galley range designed for boats between 25 and 35 feet. It is a true multi-functional appliance, serving as a primary cooker, an oven, and a central heating source, all within a compact footprint.
Dickinson Bering: The Ultimate Small-Galley Diesel Range
The Dickinson Bering is the perfect solution for smaller vessels where space must be used efficiently. It features a fully functional oven and a large cooktop, combined with a heating output of 1.9kW to 4.5kW. By providing both radiant heat for the cabin and a dedicated cooking platform, the Bering effectively eliminates the need for a separate heater. Its fuel efficiency is notable, consuming between 0.2 and 0.5 litres of diesel per hour, making it an economical choice for long-term liveaboards.
Like all Dickinson Marine diesel appliances, the Bering is engineered for the marine environment with high-grade stainless steel construction. It includes a 12V draft assist fan to ensure stable combustion during start-up and on high fire. For those seeking a complete heating solution, the Bering can be fitted with an optional single or double-turn hot water coil, allowing the unit to provide up to 2kW of water heating for a SureCal calorifier or a central heating radiator.
Expert Installation and BSS Safety
Our OFTEC-trained engineers are specialists in Dickinson diesel cooker installations, ensuring all safety standards and Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) requirements are met. Correct installation is vital for vapourising burners to maintain the proper draft—note that a barometric damper is required for chimney runs longer than 6ft.
For further technical resources, please visit the Dickinson Marine Support Portal and the OFTEC consumer guide for liquid fuel appliances. We are currently offering free installation for our narrowboat cooker kits during the Winter 2025/2026 season.
Custom Kits and Certification
The Bering is available as a complete Narrowboat Kit (£3880.00), which includes the cooker, a full flue system, fuel line components, a fire valve, and a professional diesel appliance safety certificate. This certificate is a critical requirement for marine insurance and BSS compliance. You can also save up to £250 on your new system by utilizing our appliance trade-in deals.
