Forget Electric! Try a Solid Fuel Heater Instead

Have you ever wished wood stoves could be installed in boats? They can! Our notoriously damp, chilly, floating fun palaces can be kept warm, dry, and snug with a solid fuel heater--namely a Dickinson Solid Fuel Heater. Read on to learn why this special heater is so much more than just a wood heater for a boat.

Dickinson Solid Fuel Heater

It's true that the Dickinson Newport functions nicely as a wood stove. But the Newport also burns presto logs, charcoal briquettes, and even coal--hence the name Solid Fuel Heater. With this kind of flexibility, there's no longer any reason to sit there all winter (or at any chilly time) huddled in a stack of blankets with your teeth chattering. Even better, you get that wonderful bone-warming, joint-soothing dry heat, unlike the damp heat that never seems to feel warm enough, that comes from electric heat.

The Dickinson Solid Fuel Heater radiates quality as it does heat. Built of tough stainless steel to take on the marine environment, the Newport will last for many years to come with proper care. And thanks to its compact design it takes up very little of that valuable real estate inside your boat. Plus, depending on which type of fuel you use, it's rated up to 8,000 BTUs.

Here at Go2marine, we have everything you need to get your new boat heater up and running, such as deck fittings, flue guards,flue exhaust caps and of course, that all-important chimney. Here are a few other things to keep in mind as well:

• The types of fuel used in this solid fuel heater are safe to store and burn, with no explosion hazard.
• The Newport needs very little fuel--no cords of wood required here!
• Unlike electric heaters, the Newport operates quietly.
• Has two heat outputs: Low is about 3,000 BTUs while High can crank out up to 8,000.
• Ideal for tiny homes and fishing huts, too.
• Best for 20'-25' length boats, but if your boat is large, get two!
• The Product Guide is available here.

If you're tired of freezing while on the boat try the quiet, warm, safe, solid fuel boat stove with dry, penetrating heat. The Dickinson Solid Fuel Heater beats an ordinary wood heater for your boat any day!
