The Dickinson Alaska is a high-performance, floor-mounted diesel stove designed for vessels between 30 and 45 feet. It combines the classic “forced draft” efficiency Dickinson is known for with a compact footprint perfect for medium-sized cabins.
Dickinson Alaska: Reliable Floor-Mounted Diesel Heating
The Dickinson Alaska is a standout choice for boat owners seeking a dedicated floor-mounted heating solution. With an output range of 1.9 kW to 4.8 kW, it provides ample warmth while remaining remarkably fuel-efficient, consuming just 0.2 to 0.5 litres of diesel per hour. Built from marine-grade stainless steel, the Alaska is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of life on the water. Its “dry heat” delivery is particularly effective at combatting cabin dampness and condensation, making it a favorite for year-round live-aboards and winter cruisers alike.
Technical precision is a hallmark of the Alaska. It includes a 12V draft assist fan to ensure reliable combustion and efficient heat distribution, even in challenging weather. The fuel valve is factory-calibrated for diesel but can be professionally recalibrated for kerosene if required. For those looking to maximize their energy efficiency, the stove can be fitted with an optional 1kW hot water coil, allowing the stove to assist with domestic hot water via a calorifier. To operate safely and effectively, it requires a permanent fresh air vent in the cabin and a flue of at least 6ft (ideally with a barometric damper).
