[alberg30] Cabin heater

Charles,

check out Dickinson diesel heaters as well as Espar. A previous owner
installed a Dickinson on my boat. I have yet to use it so I can't comment on
them. However I believe they are not cheap. A similar Dickinson model in
West Marine goes for $600 US then you need a fuel transfer pump if not
gravity fed which is another $110 US.

An inexpensive alternative is an Origo heater. They go for about $150 CDN,
run on alcohol, no pressure, inside it actually uses the same canister as
used in their stoves, provides 5000 BTU. You don't need to hook it up to
your diesel tank, don't need a fuel pump and don't have to install a
chimney. You can even use it to cook yourself something. A buddy of mine has
one and he loves it.

Cheers,
Guy.
