Chilli Penguin’s Short Penguin Boat Stove
The Chilli Penguin Short Penguin is a 5kW multi-fuel powerhouse. As an Ecodesign-ready appliance with a factory-fitted Smoke Control kit, it is one of the cleanest-burning solid fuel stoves available for the UK canal network.. Designed with a small footprint but boasting a significant 5kW nominal heat output, this efficient stove offers powerful warmth without consuming precious cabin space. The Short Penguin is multi-fuel capable of burning wood and smokeless coal, and its high efficiency (over 80%) and Ecodesign-ready status guarantee a clean, powerful, and economical burn. Furthermore, the standard factory-fitted Smoke Control kit ensures compliance across different mooring locations, while the advanced air wash system maintains an uninterrupted view of the fire.
To tailor the Short Penguin perfectly to your boat’s interior and needs, a range of practical extras are available. You can customise the look and height of your installation with the elegant Eco Plinth. For a touch of personalisation, choose from a selection of eye-catching colour finishes like Storm Blue or Charred Red. An essential marine accessory is the Optional Stainless Steel Top Plate, which provides a durable and heat-resistant surface for boiling a kettle or slow-cooking a meal. These customizable features allow you to optimise the Short Penguin for both function and style within your boat.
