Hungry Penguin Multi-Fuel Stove for Narrowboats: 5kW Heat & Cook

Chilli Penguin’s Hungry Penguin Boat Stove

The Chilli Penguin Hungry Penguin Multi Fuel Stove is the ideal solution for any narrowboat or marine vessel seeking an independent and highly efficient heating and cooking system. Designed explicitly with space and off-grid living in mind—the manufacturer notes it is “ideal for canal boats”—this compact unit delivers a powerful nominal heat output of 5kW, ensuring your cabin remains warm even on the coldest days. Crucially, the Hungry Penguin is a truly dual-purpose appliance, featuring a practical oven box and a useful top plate surface for boiling a kettle. This allows you to heat your boat and cook a full meal from a single, reliable multi-fuel source, providing a genuine alternative to reliance on mains gas or electricity while cruising.

To ensure perfect integration and safe operation within a vessel’s sealed environment, the Hungry Penguin offers several crucial optional extras. Foremost among these is the heavy-duty Stainless Steel Top Plate for enhanced durability and cooking performance, and a plinth to tailor the installation to your specific hearth requirements. With its Ecodesign certification and approval for use in Smoke Control Zones, the Hungry Penguin provides a legal, low-emission, and comprehensive heating and cooking experience for life on the water.
