Hi C lectric,

No, the noise of the diesel stove doesn't bug us at all, and thanks again for your advice on how to tease it back into good running order

The old beast does an 'okay' job at heating the boat, but the Hurricane would spread the heat much better, plus provide hot water, plus utilize engine heat while running. Much to like, but worth the cost/installation frustrations? Will be navel gazing on that one before any big move is made. Also, will have to realistically guesstimate how often we'll be cruising in the depths of winter.

We use methyl hydrate (cheaper and available in hardware stores) in the one burner Origo. What do you use?
