  1. LMFAO the company I bought #smartthermostats from wants me to #beta test their newest model, in the #summer of all seasons of the year. Like why? My #thermostats are off all summer since they are for #baseboard #heaters, they should be doing the beta testing for this in #winter, do beta testing for the #AC & #heatpump thermostats in the summer instead. #smarthome

    Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

    #Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

    A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

    I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
    (wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

  3. Having put two #heaters aboard earlier in the week we decided we'd take the opportunity to check on them and see how warm the #Webasto #centralheating copes in the current extreme conditions. The forecast is for 1°C overnight.

    It was fully dark by the time we moored a mile upstream at the head of navigation at #Horstead #lock

    We plan to get down to #Wroxham #Bridge tomorrow and the return to our #mooring.
