1. Industry-Leading Performance and Efficiency
The Go Eco Adventurer 5 features an A+ energy rating and 86% heat efficiency, making it one of the most advanced compact stoves available. It is fully DEFRA-exempt , meaning it is legally permitted for use in smoke-controlled zones across the UK.
The “Sweet Spot” for Boat Heating
This multi-fuel stove delivers a nominal heat output of 4.5kW (with a range of 3.4kW to 5.3kW). This is widely considered the “sweet spot” for heating the small-to-medium-sized cabins typically found on UK narrowboats or in glamping pods. Furthermore, it is DEFRA-exempt, meaning it is legally permitted to burn seasoned wood logs and smokeless coal even in designated smoke control areas.
2. Engineered for the Harsh Marine Environment
Standard household stoves are often too bulky and aren’t built to withstand the damp, corrosive atmosphere found on a boat. The Go Eco Adventurer is constructed with 100% stainless steel fixings, which is critical for fighting off rust and handling the constant movement and humidity changes of life on the water.
BS 8511 Compliance and Space Saving
Space is a luxury on any vessel. The Adventurer 5 can be fitted with its own purpose-made marine hearth and integrated heat shield. This setup is BS 8511:2010 Code of Practice compliant and allows the stove to fit into exceptionally tight spaces, reducing the required safety clearances to just 70mm at the sides and 75mm at the rear. This eliminates the need for bulky, custom-built hearths, saving you both time and cabin space.
3. Beyond Heating: Cooking and Customisation
One of the most unique features of the Go Eco Adventurer is its versatility as a cooking appliance. It comes as standard with a stainless steel cook plate that can reach temperatures of 300-350°C—perfect for boiling a kettle or simmering a stew. You can review the full range of options in the official Go Eco Adventurer brochure.
Modular Accessories for Life Aboard
You can further customise your stove with a range of optional add-ons:
- Removable Oven: Available with glass or steel doors, this top-mounted oven can fit 22cm casserole dishes.
- Side Warming Plates: Add extra surface area for keeping food warm.
- Fiddle Rail: A stainless steel rail that secures pans and kettles in place while the boat is in motion.
4. Professional Safety and Appliance Certification
Safe operation is our non-negotiable priority. Every installation must strictly adhere to the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) standards to protect your vessel and insurance.
As OFTEC certified engineers, we provide specialist safety surveys and certificates for the solid fuel, diesel, and LPG appliances we install.
Conclusion: A Smart Investment for Your Boat
The Go Eco Adventurer 5 is more than just a heater; it is a smart investment in reliable, safe, and comfortable off-grid living. Whether you are looking for a powerful heat source, a unique cooking experience, or an eco-friendly focal point, this stove is the perfect companion for your life on the move.
