Tied up away from the storm. Oh yes.

Allright. Something a bit more serious.

My latest dilemma, or at least an old one I'm returning to, is whether to replace the said paraffin Taylors heater with a coal stove, principally the Faversham. Lack of space means the stove has to be very small in footprint, yet I'd like to be able to heat a kettle or pot on top while underway in anything under a bad blow.
The Taylors is rated at 2.1Kw, but I can't find data (I had the damn catalog somewhere) on the Faversham. I'd also consider the Davey's Pot stove or anything similar, but the Little Cod would be just too big. Taller and narrow needed.

Any thoughts?
Thanks as always.
 
Having lived with a small potbellied stove,I would say stick with the Taylors for lots of reasons - space,fuel storage,cleanliness below and on deck,fire safety,fuel handling and ash disposal,but most of all you dont need to keep feeding the Taylors as you would with a small capacity solid fuel burner(or trying to relight it in the early morning..)-but if you are prepared to accept all that,the 'atmosphere'of a good coal stove is hard to beat.
