- CHB 34' 1978 North Sea Trawler
Greetings from "the land of perpetual October," as my husband Jim affectionately calls our hometown.
We've just bought this summer a 1978 34' CHB, the Pavane. It has a truly ancient Espar heater that we have not even tried to fire up yet. We are exploring other heater options, especially heaters that will work at anchor far from shore power. Diesel, propane, solid fuel -- the options are many as are the opinions.
We have a wood stove at home that we use to supplement our diesel boiler. We have a lot of trees on our property that we will be gradually thinning out; hence a source of tailorable-sized wood. We also have a local source of wood pellets should we get lazy with the wood cutting. I am interested in the Sig Marine solid fuel heater for the Pavane. Does anyone have experience with this unit?
Thanks, and I appreciate the nice forum.
