Bob;
<BR>Sunstone came with a Cole Stove and some anthracite which the previous
owner swore by and I swear at. First you have to start the anthracite
with charcoal briquettes, if your lucky the anthracite will get going but
usually you need a blow torch. It is hard to control the heat coming
out and I have seen chimneys start to <I><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">glow red</FONT></I>
- not a good thing, though a dry heat to be sure.
<P>In the morning you are greeted on deck with soot and mess from the briquettes,
the solution - go to a liquid stove and do as you have done, put the contraption
the garage for the mice.
<P>On a serious note, remember to leave a port or hatch open enough to
draw in fresh air as people have asphyxiated in closed cabins with stoves
that lack their own outside air source (Sigmar has one but the unit is
expensive).
<P>Caio,

<BR>>There was a wood stove/heater in the boat years ago and it was mounted
to
<BR>>starboard on the hanging locker bulkhead. The flue vent hole has been
sealed
<BR>>over with a Plexiglas blank.
<P>When I bought Isobar, it came with what sounds like that
same pot-bellied
<BR>stove/heater together with the necessary flues and insulation amongst
its
<BR>supplies. The cabin top has a blank which could easily replaced
by Charlie
<BR>Noble. The rig sits in my garage never used. I never installed
it since
<BR>I'm a fair weather sailor (getting time to haul now), and frostbite
and I
<BR>don't get along. But I'm wondering if anyone has used one
successfully.
<BR>It seems like it and a bag of coal might be just the thing to extend
the
<BR>season a little. (Can one still buy a bag of coal?)
