The Bubble Diesel Boat Cooker is a traditional cooking range that captures the nostalgic charm of narrowboat living while providing modern, reliable performance. Historically found in the back cabins of working boats, this versatile range serves as both a high-efficiency cooking surface and a powerful cabin heater. Engineered for durability, it features a cast-iron aesthetic with a decorative faux ash catcher and a stay-cool handle, offering a clean-burning heating and cooking solution that operates on both 35sec diesel and 28sec kerosene.
Bubble Diesel Boat Cooker: Authentic Style and Dual Functionality
The Bubble diesel cooker is the perfect addition to a traditional galley, allowing boaters to prepare hot meals while maintaining a cozy cabin temperature. Unlike solid fuel ranges, the diesel version offers a steady, controllable heat source that is quick and easy to light by design. Its efficient vaporising burner provides a dry heat that effectively combats the damp marine environment. For those looking to heat their entire vessel, the cooker can be equipped with an optional 1kW side boiler, allowing it to heat domestic hot water via a calorifier and power a small radiator in more distant areas of the boat.
Professional Installation and Technical Standards
Precision is key when installing a diesel vaporising range to ensure clean combustion and a safe fuel supply. To understand the safety requirements for liquid fuel appliances on the water, you can refer to the OFTEC consumer guide for liquid fuel-fired heating and cooking. Our OFTEC-trained engineers provide specialised diesel boat cooker installations that meet all modern standards. We recommend using a BSS-compliant flue kit and high-quality fuel lines with a remote-sensing fire stop valve to ensure long-term reliability and compliance.
