Sig or Dickinson oil stove

Post by MTurvey »

Well we've moved on from the Wallas stoves..... 4k is a bit much for only 6000 btus :)

Does anyone have any opinions on either the Dickinsons or Sig stoves/ heaters? We are leaning towards the Sigs at this point unless someone has a horror story for me.

Why not electric ? for the price of diesel stoves and heaters ( and tank) you maybe able to buy a Genset ( a real marine genset )


You can also get heaters that work off the engine coolant

When i put heat in my boat it's going to be "In Bilge Radiant". Pex-al-pex & a 6 or 10 gal water heater, pump, switching relay, & t-stat. I'd feel a lot better with a closed system & no open flames.
