In today's day and age I don't see anything wise about the modification in question

I put a cast iron stove into a house once--sitting on and surrounded by brick, with a steel shield set into a suspended ceiling. I surely didn't surround it with teak and fiberglass with ridiculously close clearances!

A stove like that was a standard with sailboats in the great northwest when I was sailing there. It always scared the crap out of me when the stove was fired up. Cheers.

Boy talk about overkill, that little baby will warm a small cabin. I can't see using more than a handfull of BBQ brickets in it to warm a sailboat.

By contrast Bill H. said he sometimes used a small clay flower pot up side down over the "curtain burner" to warm the cabin.

I'll go with long johns.

Yep. This used to be pretty common in the PNW. Burn coal in it sometimes.

We did not burn coal, we burnd "U" wood trees. It is as dense a coal. A piece 4 inch in diamiter could be more than 100 years old. We could put in three 4" X 4" logs and it would smolder all day long. Of course it would warm the cabin but fighting off the chill from damp was more important. Cheers.

When it is 30 degrees out and 99 percent humidity and the fog is drapped over the coastal mountains, there is nothing better then a toasty wood stove and a bottle of wine in a cozy cabin. Cheers.

If she ever gets a knock-down to port... it will be very damp below.

What about the smoke. Close on port tack could be interesting.

I've only seen them used in port. It could be too hairy to try to sail with that thing lit. Cheers.

One of the catalina 25 listing sites has a c25 with a wood burning stove. Death by co or fire take your pick. No thanks.
