Diesel Boat Cookers: Safe, Gas-Free Cooking for Marine Use

For many boaters, moving away from LPG is a primary goal for safety and convenience. Our range of Diesel Boat Cookers offers a robust, high-performance alternative to gas, allowing you to cook, bake, and grill using the vessel’s main fuel supply.

Ideal for long-distance cruisers and liveaboards, diesel cookers eliminate the need for heavy gas bottle swaps and the associated safety risks of LPG in a confined space. Furthermore, because diesel cookers—such as our range of Wallas Diesel Hobs & Ovens—are “flueless” into the cabin (exhausting all combustion gases outside), they provide a dry heat that helps keep your galley and saloon free from condensation.

Why Switch to a Diesel Galley?

Choosing a diesel-powered cooker or hob brings several unique benefits to your vessel:

• Single-Fuel Convenience: Draw fuel directly from your main tank, ensuring you never run out of cooking fuel as long as your engine can run.

• Enhanced Safety: By removing LPG from your galley, you eliminate the risk of gas leaks and the need for complex gas lockers and bubble testers.

• Dry Cabin Environment: Unlike gas, which releases moisture during combustion, diesel cookers vent all exhaust externally, significantly reducing dampness and frost on your windows.

• Modern Glass-Ceramic Hobs: Many of our diesel units feature easy-clean, elegant surfaces that wouldn’t look out of place in a modern home kitchen.

Precision Engineering & OFTEC Compliance

Installing a diesel cooker is a technical task that requires expert fuel-line routing and specialised exhaust fitting. Because we are OFTEC-qualified technicians, we understand the technical nuances required to ensure your cooker operates cleanly, quietly, and efficiently.

Every unit we stock is selected for its marine-grade durability and its ability to comply with Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) standards. Whether you are installing a compact hob on a yacht or a full-size oven on a narrowboat, we provide the hardware and the expertise to ensure a professional result.
