Chilli Penguin’s Chilli Billie Gentoo Boat Stove
The Chilli Penguin Chilli Billie Gentoo wood burner boat stove is the “baby of the family,” a redesign (Generation 2) specifically developed to meet Eco Design criteria while retaining its characteristic small, round porthole window. This compact stove boasts a high efficiency of 81.8% and is designed for smaller spaces and structures such as boats, yurts, camping pods and shepherd’s huts, requiring a nominal 4.3 kW heat output. The stove is front-loading and features a stainless steel top plate as standard, allowing users to cook by placing a small saucepan or kettle directly on the surface. Its operation is made highly controllable through three separate air controls: an air boost disc for lighting, an air wash slider for clean glass, and an air control knob.
A range of optional extras allows users to customise the Chilli Billie Gentoo for enhanced functionality and aesthetics. For cooking enthusiasts, optional “Food Tubes” slide in behind the firebox, offering a simple way to cook brunches and dinners using the stove’s heat. Practical add-ons include interchangeable Side Shelves, which can be fitted on either side to extend the top cooking surface, and a Starter Pipe, which is required to increase the flue size to a standard 125mm. Furthermore, the Penguin Enclosures (such as the Classic Round and Corner options) are double-skinned heat shields that create a distinct housing space, provide a hearth, and minimise clearances to combustibles. The stove is available in the standard Penguin Black finish, as well as optional colours like Seal Grey, Storm Blue, Charred Red, and Evergreen.
