I''m looking for a boat heater. I like the simplicity
of a solid
fuel heater: no preheating, no
pumps, nice
smell... but people tell me that I should go for
diesel.
My boat is 32 feet, fiberglass, 1980 East Orient (lots
of teak) so a solid
fuel Dickinson (or other make)
would fit nicely. Are there any other small bulkhead
mounted solid fuel heaters?
And is it true what diesel heater owners say that they
are dangerous, dirty. can''t use them when you sail and
don''t put out enough heat?
The solid fuel heater owners I talked to love theirs,
but they own older boats and I didn''t get a chance to
see the heaters.
I''m in Southern Spain, so it''s not that cold here, but
it''s damp and I''d like dry heat at
anchor and while
sailing.
Thanks for any advice you could give.
