Re: Most efficient way to boil water on a boat

Back when I was Army camping, I always kept a Svea stove with me, mine would burn either kerosene or Diesel. Either was as hot or hotter than butane or propane, but Diesel did have to be preheated...

Re: Most efficient way to boil water on a boat

My propane cost is nothing, I bet I spend more on fish bait.

But I concede that is not always the case, and I bet it's more than anything a case of looking at hundreds of gallons of propane, but...

Re: Most efficient way to boil water on a boat

That is exactly it, and to be truthful I knew that, but still electric resistance heating is not the most efficient way to heat with electricity, or houses wouldn't have heat pumps :).

Re: Most efficient way to boil water on a boat

OK, you guys are saying that electric resistance heating is nearly 100% efficient and is the most efficient way to heat water right?
Then how can a vapor cycle compressor system be up to 70% more...

Something isn't right here, a BTU is a BTU doesn't matter where it comes from, the higher BTU source will boil the water in the least time.

Most efficient way to boil water on a boat

I would assume most efficient would be a Solar collector? Big parabolic mirror?
But maybe what is more important than efficiency is cost per BTU? I bet then propane or Diesel will come out the clear...
