Tag: Diesel Stoves
A diesel stove is the ultimate choice for boaters seeking the traditional ambience of a hearth without the logistical challenges of solid fuel. These vaporising oil stoves provide a clean-burning, high-output heat source that draws directly from your vessel’s main fuel supply, eliminating the need to carry coal or wood. Because they operate on a simple mechanical principle, most models require no electricity, making them the gold standard for off-grid cruising and silent, year-round live-aboard comfort. Our selection of marine-grade heating solutions focuses on high-efficiency units designed to withstand the rigours of the marine environment.
The Specialist Difference: Precision Vapourising Burners
Installing a diesel stove is a technical process that relies on fundamental physics rather than complex electronics. Our engineering-led approach ensures that your stove is perfectly balanced for its environment.
- Draft Calibration: Vapourising burners rely on a precise natural draft. We ensure your flue height and diameter are correctly calculated to prevent blow-outs in high winds.
- Gravity-Fed Reliability: We expertly integrate gravity-fed or pump-assisted fuel systems, ensuring a steady, regulated drip of diesel to the burner for consistent, dry warmth.
- Condensation Control: Unlike some blown-air systems, the radiant heat from a diesel stove actively fights dampness, protecting your boat’s interior joinery.
