The better "fire place" it is a wooden one, because it "warm up" you 3 time :
- when you are searching for wood
- when you cut the wood
- and (finally !) when burn it !!
If one day we change our small wooden one it could be for a bigger wooden one, with oven , glass to see fire and heater for the radiators.

You forgot the forth one....
When you scrub all the soot off the deck of your and your neighbors boats!
Not really bashing wood.. Volunteer had one.. it worked great.. was just a real mess and hassle..

Staying warm? 35C here today, and rising. Around 40C in the western suburbs which will miss out on the cooling sea breeze expected/hoped for later.

Here is a picture of my Thelin Parlour 3000 pellet stove on board
That looks like a warm home. Simple effective reliable.
Seems its easier to keep warm compared to them always fighting the heat for some sleep.

For a boat depending on power pole for heat , an emergency method of heat may be required for a couple of weeks.

OFB - I'd still take the warm weather if I had a choice. But I don't, so the pellet stove has turned out to be a good heat source on my boat.
Here's our primary heat source in the main cabin. Three dedicated 30-lb propane tanks on the starboard deck feed the stove, which is properly vented through the overhead (no moisture released into the cabin). We spend about $45-50/month on propane, so it's fairly efficient heat source. Looks real nice, too. Keeps us 70-degrees in the winter. It has a 110V fan, but when underway or at anchor that kinetic EcoFan moves the heat around the room pretty good. Thought about replacing it before we bought the boat. The PO kept saying, "Just live one winter with it." He was right!

Liquid or gas fuel is the way to go as many marinas do not allow solid fuel due to the risk of sparks.
I'm a diesel stove guy.

SADLY this frequent concept of not attempting to understand why and how the PO used the boat is all too common.

We have one like that (not on the boat) and it's called the "Little Knome"

Yes, Thelin's Little Gnome is their smallest. I think its rated at 25,000 or 28,000 BTU. But the footprint is 18 x 18 inches, and the Parlour 3000 is 40,000 BTU and only 20 x 20 inches, so that's the one I went with. Love the look of their stoves, but as I said their customer service leaves much to be desired. Parts are outrageous too.
I think I might try another brand next time, as there are a few other small ones out there. Jamestown J1000 and J2000, as well as a few I saw at Tractor Supply in the $1000-$1500 range. Theres even a window unit like a window a/c made by US Stoves.
