Boat Stoves and Heaters make recreational boats more comfortable and fun, especially when the temperature begins to drop due to inclement weather, the fall of night, or the change of seasons. On a boat used for commercial or non-profit purposes, where the crew have no choice but to brave even the harshest elements, these accessories become necessities. Force 10 and Dickinson Marine are two of the premier manufacturers of these accessories.
Recreational boaters who use their boats predominantly in favorable weather can purchase
barbecues, small
propane stove-tops, and even small
heating units. Both Force 10 and Dickinson Marine offer
barbecues that can be used on deck to feed small parties of friends and family. Both companies also offer stove-tops and even ovens for those who want to entertain with food on their larger boats with roomy cabins.
For the most part, recreational cooking accessories and heating units are a matter of preference. Before purchasing anything, however, read the product specifications to make sure you do not buy something too large or heavy for your boat. For a heating unit on a recreational boat, opt for a casual fireplace such as Dickinson Marine's Newport Solid Fuel Heater, which can burn charcoal, wood, and coal.
When purchasing a heating unit to keep sleeping quarters or cabins warm, safety should be the foremost consideration. Fortunately, both Dickinson Marine and Force 10 prioritize safety over all else. The Cozy Cabin Heater, by Force 10, has a built-in oxygen reader that automatically shuts the heater down whenever the oxygen level in the cabin dips below 95 percent of the normal level. Dickinson Marine specializes in heating units that are safe for boats up to 40 feet long. Made of stainless steel, many of these units require fitting chimney accessories.
