Thank you, we found this helpful in options for cooking aboard our boat :)
Great to hear!
I just priced out the combined stove/oven/heater…….😳😳😳
I've been promoting kerosene heaters over propane. Winter diesel also works fine in most wicked kerosene heaters. Being able to standardize on one fuel makes a LOT of sense, and diesel is far safer than propane. Storage and accessibility is better, too. They ARE a bit fussier to work with, however. ( but don't spew out vast amounts of moisture and carbon-monoxide like propane heaters )
For all those reasons is why we converted to diesel !!!
Hi there!
Thanks for your video. Supplementary question: what's the fireproof material on the sides of the oven? Do you know if the oven gets very hot on the outside when it is running?
We are planning to attach it to plywood panels and are afraid that the temperature will be too high.
Thanks in advance!
We made a mistake, we installed it with reflectix, which we have since removed because the heat from the oven was melting the reflectix. Now we just have ply wood and paneling surrounding it with an inch to inch and a half gap on each side. The exterior of the oven does get very hot. Also, we have to be careful not to touch the door and only use the wood handle while it is running.
Thanks for your reply, it's really useful!
We put in insulation that looks similar to yours, with about 1 cm of space on the sides. We'll try it like that and see if it heats up too much... We hope not!@@rohdsteading5880
Hi!
We've just tried out our Wallas and from there, a few questions for you if you don't mind :) (We don't know anyone who has installed it and few people on TH-cam have shared their experience... :)
The hob heats up and the oven looks good too. However, the exhaust ducts are making smoke. It doesn't seem to be coming out at the clamps, but rather at the tube... Have you had this too? We don't know if it's because it's the first time or if it's absolutely not normal.
Thanks by advance!
Sorry for the late response, we have been traveling. Yes, we have experienced that but not from inside the cabin. After we travel on a wet or snowy road way we see this on the pipes that are exposed. When there is moisture or debris on the exhaust tubes we see it burn off. We have experienced this more on our Espar system than our Wallace appliances.
Thanks again for your time and help ;) @@rohdsteading5880
What does a setup like this cost?
To install the stovetop and oven in our particular rig the cost was roughly $7000. Which we chose to do in order to transition away from propane. The other option was to purchase a lithium battery bank and electric cooktop and in hind sight this option probably would not have cost any more than what we spent. For the entire setup of appliances, refrigerator, water heater, furnace, and stove/ oven, eliminating propane from the rig it cost roughly $15,000 which was spent over time as not all of these upgrades were done at once. Now responding to your comment it does seem a little excessive. But our goal was to eliminate propane to rely on the grid less. And, we were already looking for diesel for the truck and we are now only in search of a single fuel.
@@rohdsteading5880 I understand, appreciate, and agree with your choices.
As a rural Canadian I am always cognizant of those same concerns. 1 fuel source is great to have. And what your doing is similar to how most boats run too.
For the house my fiancée and I are building next year in a Remote Northern BRitish Columbia town of Stewart BC( on the border of Hyder Alaska) we are going for propane for cooking, hot water, and our back up Generator( hydro power can be a problem from avalanches along the highway. It’s easy when you have a 500 gallon tank. But there will by a heat pump and a pellet stove. And possibly a wood cook stove as the ultimate back up and I like the idea of cooking on it. But static position over mobile makes the difference.
Have you considered though the Cubic mini wood stove as well? Works great for both ambiance and saves some fuel when in areas with abundant supply of fire wood is available.
Yes we have considered the Cubic Mini Stove as well as the Kimberly Stove. And, we do have plans of adding one of these in the future. As, we do not want to rely on a single source for heat or cooking. For many reasons we wanted to go to one fuel source first and then add on later. This was a huge undertaking as when we first started out we were searching for gasoline, diesel, propane, fresh water, a dump station, and power. Now, we are only searching for diesel, fresh water, and a dump station. This has made life on the road much simpler and we are looking forward to building off of this system.
Lol did it work?
It is working well. There was a small learning curve with it. As far as temperature, it does cook hotter than the RV propane stove, which is good for boiling water or frying food. We are planning on a review video in the future.
