Boiler stove advice needed

[Chrissyboy]

Hi everyone

 

I need some advice please if poss. I have bought a 70ft narrowboat and ideally I would like to fit a multi fuel boiler stove in the kitchen with hobs for cooking on. It also will need a back boiler and the ability to heat 3 or 4 rads running the length of the boat.

 

Can anyone recommend anything that may do the job please?

 

I want to use a wood/coal based burner rather than say an oil burner as I can obtain wood and coal extremely cheaply (my father in law owns a farm)

 

Regards

Hi Chris

Aga do a small ( 600 ish wide) unit that will fit nicely in a boat, I have seen full size versions fitted too.

There is a possible down side to your cheap fuel source, using one of these stoves in summer will still

generate the oodles of heat they do in the winter.

Hope this helps
