Stoves on canal boats/narrowboats - anyone with practical experience?

I mentioned this low draught problem earlier in the thread, as the top couple of feet of stack has to be easily removable and stowable it tends to be single skinned with a simple terminating cover, so only the bottom 4 ft can be a well insulated Poujoulat twin wall.

 

The only way round the low draught problem I can see would be a simple induced draught arrangement using a small 12V centrifugal fan of a couple of Watts in an ejector configuration.

 

In practice we avoided burning wood near residential areas

From what I understand new flues on boats now need to be twin wall insulated,  Morso do a lovely dedicated 2m boat flue kit to fit their stoves.   This fits inside the Morso flue collar on the models they approve it for use with.

Does the top bit come off? This is essential on a narrowboat where the freeboard is sometimes only a couple of inches above the deck, indeed with Isabella we have had to shift bags of coal to the front to get an even keel to pass under a bridge.

 

Is the Morso S11 one that could be used on boats, you recommended it to me for a small room

S11 is probably the best choice,  its a convector so has reduced side clearance to combustibles.   Morso have known them installed across corners with clearance on the back corners down to about 70mm.    I hasten to add these are UK spec S11s and not the grey imports washing around the www.
