Your doing great Captian...Thanks..
Having an almost endless supply of wood in my line of work it is hard to let go of the wood stove idea regardless of reasoning...but I am also mindful of the sparks and mess on deck that could be a huge problem or worse ruin a sail from it..I have pretty much decided to give it a go with a stack and stove location that can be fairly painlessly converted to a diesel Dickerson stove if it is decided to be to messy or to much of a hassle.
The wife keeps reminding me....... "I was convinced to try this sailing stuff due to the price of fuel and there for the lack of use of our power boat ..so how can we justify burning more of it to heat this boat".....
she has a point that I cant wiggle my way out of so easly and thats the main reason we will be I'm sure trying wood heat first..
