There have been many changes in the UK stove industry over the last few years and a new market has sprung up in relation to boat stoves and canal barge stoves. If you have been looking for a boat stove or a canal barge stove you will no doubt have come across the Morso Squirrel stove which many believe is perfect for this restrictive environment to ensure efficiency, value for money as well as safety.

Morso Stoves have been working with the HETAS authority to put together a blueprint for the future in relation to stoves on boats and stoves on canal barges. It is the ability to not only create significant heat while aboard your boat but it is also the opportunity to introduce a hot water system which is powered by the Morso Squirrel stove.

However, there are obvious important issues such as the positioning of the flue with the safety of occupants the main factor when looking at this particular area. Then we also need to take into account the potential need for heat shielding and heat cladding to reduce the risk of fires and untoward accidents as much as possible. On the surface it may look very difficult to put together a safe and highly efficient stove for the boat and canal barge industry but ultimately the UK woodburning stove and multifuel stove industry seems determined to find a way.

We fully expect the introduction of new guidelines in the short to medium term in relation to the safe installation of stoves for waterway homes. If you require further information or an update on the situation then please e-mail us or give us a call at the showroom.
