Wallas stoves

[Skinny Dipping]

Has anyone been using a wallas stove to heat a Bayliner 242 or similar boat? If so is it warm enough? Were was the fuel tank installed?

TOO funny in fact I am putting one on my new boat on sat. the 85DP and im putting the tank in the floor hatch and running the hose up to it as it has to be below the stove or you will need a special qizmo to stop the flow. if you want ill take pic of the install??

That would be great Wolf. Do you think it will keep the cabin warm enough and dry?

Those stoves look slick...I just called Trotac for a price...holy

I think it will be no problem heating up a cabin at all, they have one hooked up at trotac go start it up you got to let it warm up but man its hot was really impressed ill let you know Ill be hooking it up on sunday most likely.

I know they are expensive but having a cabin that is humid and cold is not great. I've seen them working at the boat show but never talked to someone that actually has used one. Are they worth the $$$?

I like the look of them and the fact they are made somewhere other than China. I saw a Wallas stove top at a local boat builder and asked if he liked them. He said that he had quite a few units come back with problems...more than he liked. So now I'm not sure...a lot of money and a pisser if it gives any grief. When I bought my boat back in 92 they were installing Wabasco diesel forced air units for a similar price. I think I'll wait and let see what kind of luck others have.

Well that was one of the questions I had asked as well any come back and not alot I know of 3 boats that got them (diesel) ran ones and they have tied in to there tanks 1 boat uses it alot and no problems.
I am willing to try it as they do have a great warrenty program guess time will tell thats for sure as it will get a lot of use.
going to work on it today ill post pics later.

BTW got the complete alchol stove ill be putting up for sale if someone needs or wants one appers to be in great shape.

Well its all hooked up ill take more photos today but here is some from yesterday


This is the old opening filled in the stove was starboard to port so im changing it to go bow to stern notice the new controler on the top.





So ive ran a chafing line from the stove down thru the kitchen cabinet thru the mid ship cabin then to the outside deck floor hatch so the fuel line which is really small inside dimension is 2 mm WOW couldnt believe that just wanted it all protected.

So I made up a box to fit the tank in one side being a bit longer to fit the hull of the boat.




And lastly this is the thru hull fitting for the exhaust as there is no fumes what so ever in the cabin as it is a seal combustion unit so it really dries the cabin out had it running last night for a bit wow its hot enough thats for sure.

Ill post more tonight of it finshed.
The plywood that is infront of the stove opening im going to put a nice chunk of granite to go in there as the plywood is a 1/2 thick and the granite is 3/4 think so it will be a bit recessed for a nice place to put a hot pot etc and to hold some heat as it will keep the heat in a bit
