Log burner installation North West

[Dobba]

Hello all. Hope everyone good and well (whoever reads this).

 

Does anyone know of a good installer of boat log burners in the North West (I'm in Manchester)? I don't know if there's specialist boat installers or if you can go to a normal house installer. Any recommendations appreciated. 😃

No recommendations, other than don't ask a normal house installer. They'll try and install it to building regs, which is basically impossible on a boat, without it being completely impractical, like trying to fit a 30' high flue. A lot of boat yards will have the skills to do this job.

Thank you for the heads up on that - I did wonder. I'll ask at some of the local marina's and boat yards if they have any recommendations. 😃

King's Lock at Middlewich.

Paul Lorenz at Bedford Basin, on Bridgewater.

Dont get a log burner. Get a multi fuel stove.

Absolutely agree with this. It's a lot easier to store smokeless fuel relatively dry and it's got far better energy density than wood.

Wood is nice but not very practical on a boat.

Thanks for all the info folks - appreciated. Yes, should have said multi-fuel, which is what it will be. 😃

We had one done at kings lock on the t&m very happy with it. Diesel bubble came out solid fuel fuel went in.

Thanks for the head up - Kings Lock may be a bit far for me to travel by boat for a fuel burner unless someone from there travels Manchester way and does on site. 😃
