Kabola diesel stoves

[Graham Blott]

My boat has a Kabola diesel stove. On one of her rare spells on the tiller my wife managed to redesign the chimney on a low bridge the other day. My boatyard tell me that a replacement Kabola chimney will cost about £100. Does anyone know if I need a Kabola chimney or will any old one do? The flue is quite small though (only 3 3/8 inch diameter) and so far have only found exhaust stacks that narrow - and I don't think they would look right at the front of the boat. Are there normal stove chimneys that narrow, and will they work on my stove? Or do I grit my teeth and pay up?

 

Any advice would be welcome.

Take your old one to use as a pattern and get one made. There are lots of small fabricators about that will make you one for half that price.
