Chilli Penguin stoves are high-quality, made-to-order solid fuel appliances known for their efficiency, diverse colour options, and iconic penguin-themed designs. Each stove is hand-built to order in the workshop in North Wales, ensuring a level of craftsmanship that mass-produced units cannot match.

Chilli Penguin Boat Stoves: Stylish & Efficient Marine Heating

Chilli Penguin stoves are a celebrated choice for boaters who value both aesthetic charm and high-performance heating. Proudly made-to-order, these stoves are engineered to provide a reliable source of warmth while acting as a focal point for any boat cabin. From the compact Chilli Billie to the oven-equipped Hungry Penguin, each model is built with premium materials to withstand the rigours of life on the water.

Hand-Crafted Quality and Customisation

Every Chilli Penguin stove is custom-made, with a typical manufacturing lead time of 2 to 4 weeks. This bespoke approach allows owners to choose from various colour options to perfectly match their interior décor. Beyond their looks, these stoves feature cutting-edge combustion technology to ensure maximum fuel efficiency and a clear view of the flames. Because solid fuel installations on boats require precise ventilation and hearth configurations, our OFTEC-trained engineers provide professional guidance to ensure your stove is both beautiful and safe.

Professional Installation and Boat Safety

Installing a solid fuel stove in a confined marine environment requires strict adherence to safety protocols. We specialise in solid fuel boat stove installations, ensuring every fitment meets the British Standards for solid fuel appliances (BS 8511:2010). Our engineers manage the entire process, from selecting the correct flue kit to issuing the necessary safety certificates for your Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) inspection.

Whether you are looking for the compact footprint of the Short Penguin or the cooking versatility of the Fat Penguin, a Chilli Penguin stove transforms your vessel into a warm, inviting retreat.
