The Dickinson Lofoten is a versatile and efficient floor-mounted diesel boat stove, uniquely designed with an integrated cast-iron cooktop. This dual-purpose appliance provides steady, dry heat for boats ranging from 35 to 45 feet, while simultaneously offering a reliable surface for preparing meals—making it a perfect centerpiece for liveaboard vessels and off-grid narrowboats.
Dickinson Lofoten: Heating and Cooking Combined
The Dickinson Lofoten delivers a flexible heat output between 1.9kW and 4.8kW, effectively drying out cabin moisture and preventing condensation. It is exceptionally fuel-efficient, consuming just 0.2 to 0.5 litres of diesel per hour. The addition of the cast-iron cooking plate transforms this heater into a functional galley asset, allowing you to boil a kettle or simmer food without using additional gas or electricity.
For increased functionality, the Lofoten can be fitted with a 1-turn (1kW) or 2-turn (2kW) hot water coil, enabling it to supply domestic hot water via a SureCal calorifier or power small radiators. To ensure reliable performance in all weather conditions, it features a 12v draft assist fan for start-up and high-fire operation. Note that a permanent fresh air vent is required in the cabin to support safe combustion.
Professional Installation and BSS Safety
The installation of a vapourising diesel stove with a cooking surface requires precise calibration of the fuel valve and flue system. Our OFTEC-trained engineers are experts in Dickinson Lofoten diesel stove installations, ensuring every unit is safely commissioned and compliant with Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) fire safety standards.
