Budget cost, diesel cooker + hot water?

[milltech]

Has anyone recently installed either of these items professionally, not DIY, I'd just like a clue on costings:

1. Diesel oven and hob, smallish probably Wallas preferred to Dickinson or Sigmar but interested in all information.
2. Tapping Gardner + good sized calorifier with immersion coil, the work plus all the bits.

The boat I'm looking at currently has an elderley and worrying gas installation + gas hot water and I don't like the look of either. I was wondering how much to allocate for the whole thing?

There was an article in one of YM or PBO in the past 12 months on alternatives to gas cookers. Diesel was horrendously expensive because you cannot use the fuel direct, as with paraffin. All the combustion fumes go up a flue and some sort of hot plate is heated, upon which the pots and pans sit. Sounds fussy and slow to me, although the reviewers seemed to like it.

I have been there before with something called a Perkins Gallipak, it did the hot water, central heating and the cooking. It was really great, a centre piece to the saloon like an Aga in a kitchen, and no explosive fuels.

Unfortunately nothing is made anymore that will do all three functions, but I do like having only one fuel, and a safe one too.

I'll do a search for the article.

I looked at these when I was being pressured to have a full corgi survey by my insurance company. I decided to stick with gas for sheer convenience as the hot plates would take up to 45 minutes to come up to heat, which basically meant the oven would be on all day, in my smallish saloon I decided this would be horrible in summer. No grill either. The company was very helpful even to the point that for my requirements they suggested a diesel oven may not be the way to go.

Yes Jools I agree. I thought Wallas before Dickinson or Sigmar. Both of these have to be on for ages to warm up. My Gallipak was superfast because it had a fan driven injector like your central heating boiler, but the Dickinson and Sigmar are drip feeds that like to be left on. I think the Wallas has a fast heat up, certainly the hot plate anyway.
