RE: Dickinson vs Sig Marine heaters
Thank you Dave.
We were at Victoria a couple of weekends ago when it was so cold (for us PNWs), and we had the Newport cranked up to max.* We have more than the 30" clearance recommended from the top of the stove to the saloon overhead, and while there isn't any fire hazard, the temperature of the wood above was around 115 degrees as measured with an IR gun. A fan up there would probably be a very good idea, and stress the wood a little less over time.
We stop into Sidney periodically, so if you see us, please stop by.* I like the whole idea of the Manatee and would love to see one.
