Canal barge and boat stoves
Stove Help & Advice Home
We have designed many stove installations for boats and barges.
Some of the considerations for boat stoves are size & reliability.
To some people the option of heating water and/or running a small radiator appeals.
Morso Squirrel stove is quite a favourite with a lot of people looking for a stove for this sort of setting.
The Morso Squirrel cleanheat is the ideal stove for a boat because it is efficient yet small. It is a top of the range cast iron stove.
The Squirrel is available with a water back boiler that can easily heat hot water on a boat as well as power a radiator.
You will of course have to be especially careful about installation inside a boat - it is a smaller space & you will often have combustible material nearby which may need heat shielding or cladding.
As with other stoves you will have to consider the plinth of non-combustible material to place the stove on.
The technical team will assist you to make sure your flue pipe is designed to fit your circumstances.
We carry a range of stove flue suited to fitting a stove into a boat including a malleable flashing (our 'corrugated roof flashing') that will seal to almost any roof profile.
Other small stoves to consider for the smaller setting of a boat or caravan would be the Villager Puffin stove or the Hunter Hawk stove.
Often we will suggest a section of flue outside that is removable so that clearances can be made for tunnels, etc.
Stoves installed into boats need to be installed according to BS 8511:2010. British Standards are expensive but luckily Soliftec have released this rather helpful information leaflet about installing boats on stoves
