I have the Wallas two burner diesel stove, with the heater option on my C Dory. It is great for this little boat. There is no diesel odor, no back drafting--vent is overboard thru the hull. Runs on 3 to 5 oz of fuel an hour--kerosene is really recommended over the diesel., Power for the stove only is 0.1 amp, for the blower lid 0.65 amp The first burner gets very hot--the second not quite so hot. You just turn the stove on and it works--as easy as an electric. When you close the top (which is glass/ceramic) with the heater option cover, a small blower comes on--and it functions as a heater. If two burners are all you need--and about 6,000 BTU of heat, I would say its a great stove. Acts more like a ceramic cook top--a bit slow to heat and retains the temp. In a larger boat I would prefer propane. Bob Austin
