THROUGH DECK FITTING

FLUE CAP

The Dickinson DP Cap (Prt#16-080) or the Dickinson "H" Cap (Prt#16-090) is recommended.

COMBUSTION AIR

To guarantee that sufficient oxygen (fresh air) is available for your heater GOOD VENTILATION IS

ESSENTIAL. It is necessary to replace the air inside your boat at the same rate as it is being

consumed by the heater. THE HOTTER THE HEATER THE MORE AIR IT WILL REQUIRE.

As most boats are relatively airtight A SEPARATE, PERMANENTLY OPEN FRESH AIR INLET

IS RECOMMENDED. This inlet must be at least 3" in diameter.

It is important to maintain a positive pressure inside the boat. High winds can draw air from the boat

and create a negative internal pressure. This condition can cause downdrafts.

FUELS

Wood, charcoal briquettes or similar solid fuels can be burned. Slow burning fuels are recommended.

Care must be taken not to overfill the combustion chamber. The heater is rated for approximately 9000

btu. This will be equal to a small handful of briquettes, or 1 or 2 slices of presto logs at 1" thick, or

equivalent sizing for wood or other solid fuels as to not damage the heater.
