Boat Cooker Types, Styles, Sizes and Prices

Welcome to the 'Types and Styles' section of BoatCooker.com, the site for boat cookers, galley cooking info and online bargains. Here we take a look at a few distinct types of boat cooker in a variety of price ranges from the compact budget stoves for the the camping dinghy cruiser through to top end gas ovens for the galley of a well equipped riverboat, narrowboat or motoryacht.

Compact Stoves for the Camping Dinghy, Trailer Sailer etc.

There are a number of options for the small boat owner when it comes to choosing a suitable small stove or basic cooker for their vessel. Space is always at a premium on any craft and this is especially true when the same space may have to double up in its uses. For those who will be cooking their meals on a riverbank, the back deck or in a open boat, the choices are similar to those offered to the camping enthusiast and campsite chef. A compact methylated spirit stove or a camping gas stove and canister plus three pan set will normally suffice for preparing basic meals and not take up too much storage space when not in use. Don't forget to always keep any small stoves and their fuel outside in a well ventialed place and away from any small cabin, enclosed cuddy or anywhere else where vapour or fumes may build up or gas sink into the bilges in the event of poor burning or fuel leakage.

Large Stoves and Cookers for Barges, Yachts etc.

For those with a larger boat, their options will depend on their type of vessel, numbers to be catered for, conditions and waters to be cruised etc. A narrowboat sedately cruising down the canals will be able to accommodate a cooker that would be too large for most yachts and impossible to use at sea. Even the true boat cooker comes in a variety of different guises from a number of specialist manufacturers. The various large cookers that are on offer include gimballed stove, grill and oven for medium sized sailcraft, slimline freestanding four burner gas hob, grill and oven for use on inland waterways riverboats, barges and narrowboats, aswell as solid fuel and woodburning stoves and range cookers for large traditional craft. All large stoves should only be installed, checked, services and repaired by suitably qualified professional marine gas and heating engineers.
