On a boat, space and energy efficiency are the primary drivers of technical design. Solid fuel cookers represent the ultimate multi-functional appliance, providing high-output cabin heating alongside a reliable cooking platform that operates entirely independently of the vessel’s electrical system. Whether you are a year-round live-aboard or an off-grid explorer, a well-integrated solid fuel range or stove-with-oven offers a level of self-sufficiency that modern diesel systems cannot match. At Marine Heating Solutions, we specialise in the bespoke installation of marine cookers, ensuring your galley is as safe as it is productive.

The Specialist Difference: Dual-Purpose Engineering

Installing a solid fuel appliance that is also used for cooking requires a sophisticated understanding of thermal dynamics and flue performance. Because these units often run for extended periods, the engineering-led installation process must be uncompromising.

• Enhanced Thermal Protection: Cookers often sit closer to galley cabinetry than standard stoves; we utilise multi-layered masterboard shielding with 10mm air-gaps to ensure zero heat-transfer to wooden structures.
• Flue Integrity for Cooking: Maintaining a consistent oven temperature requires a stable flue draught. We calculate the precise chimney height and diameter needed to ensure reliable combustion even in high winds.
• Vibration-Resistant Assembly: Marine cookers must withstand the movement of the vessel. We utilize high-grade mechanical fixings and marine-grade sealants to prevent air leaks in the firebox.

Safety/Regulatory: OFTEC and Canal & River Trust (CRT)

To ensure your vessel remains compliant with Canal & River Trust (CRT) licensing, any solid fuel cooker must meet the Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) standards. This includes specific requirements for non-combustible hearths and the mandatory installation of certified Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms in the same cabin as the appliance.

Our team includes OFTEC certified technicians who specialise in the installation of solid fuel appliances in small craft to BS 8511:2010. We provide full certification for every installation, which is critical for your insurance validity and your four-yearly BSS inspection.
