The Franco Belge Burgundy is a high-capacity diesel boat stove, delivering a powerful 10kW output that makes it an ideal choice for heating medium to large widebeam barges and Dutch barges. Combining traditional cast-iron aesthetics with a patented “double wall” vapourising burner system, the Burgundy ensures maximum heating efficiency (85%) and a steady, radiant warmth that effectively combats the damp conditions of life on the water.

Franco Belge Burgundy: Robust Power and Classic Style

The Franco Belge Burgundy is built for longevity and performance, featuring a heavy-duty 125kg cast-iron construction that acts as a significant thermal store. This allows the stove to continue radiating heat long after the burner has been adjusted. Its elegant matt black finish and large glass front provide a sophisticated focal point for any vessel, while the straightforward manual controls ensure ease of use. For added visual appeal, an optional coal effect kit is available to mimic the look of a traditional solid fuel fire without the mess.

Professional Installation and Technical Standards

Due to its high output and weight, the Burgundy requires precise installation to ensure safe operation and optimal flue draught. Our OFTEC-trained engineers specialise in Franco Belge Burgundy diesel stove installations, ensuring every unit is paired with a BSS-compliant marine flue kit.

All work is carried out to meet Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) standards. For broader safety information, please refer to the OFTEC consumer guide for liquid fuel appliances and the BSS fire safety hub. We are currently offering free installation for our narrowboat stove kits throughout the Winter 2025/2026 season.

Custom Kits and Certification

The Burgundy is available as a complete Narrowboat Stove Kit, which includes the stove, a stainless steel flue kit, fuel line components, a fire valve, and a professional diesel safety certificate. This certification is essential for meeting marine insurance and BSS requirements. You can also save up to £250 on your new installation by utilizing our appliance trade-in deals.
