Clarke Barrell Stove on a narrowboat

[TheSaintlyOne]

Well it looks like we might be replacing our Narrowboat stove and saw these Clarke Barrell Multi-Fuel Stoves on Machine Mart quite like the look of this one as its a slimmer profile than our existing

Has anyone put one on a narrowboat and is there any reason you couldn't

8KW output, for a boat could be very high, I doubt a full fire would be burnt very often.

Check what length of flue is needed, many fires of this type will not draw properly with short boat length flues.

Just about to say the same, 8kw is a lot for a boat. A Squirrel stove is 4.5 and easily enough, even when running a back boiler.

 

Looks nice, very reasonable price though.

So the smaller 5kw versions would be okay just caught a bit on Youtube and they include Narrowboats in their description

They aren’t the best made stoves....I’d have a look at one in person before committing....

They’re on display in all the Machine Mart stores (as are flues etc).
