I need to fit a stove from scratch so we have two.
Am I right in thinking the plinth can be tiled ply? The one we have doesn't heat the plinth.
Behind I think needs to be tiled fire board with an air gap behind, but the gap doesn't need to be open to air flow? Would say one inch be enough gap?
Is there a minimum distance I need between the stove and the fire board behind?
Lastly I have a cast iron 5" I.D. roof collar and a 4" O.D. flue. My gut instinct is that's not ideal, too much gap. What does the team think?

I've used a cast iron manhole cover as a stove base in the barge. It has the frame with it so when the frame is screwed to the floor you drop the cover on then bolt the fire down to the cover. It stays where it is won't go anywhere unless someone turn the boat upside down .
So you have a heavy duty base and an air gap before the wooden floor. I reckon that's not too bad.

I followed this, I lifted the base up a good few inches as I always think stoves sitting on the floor look odd. |

Mine is raised up a bit but that was due to the existing flue being a bit short and CBA to replace it so raised fire. Bit of a beast but it's done 5 winters now as the main heating. Quality Dutch item maybe bargemast has seen these. Pelgrim is the maker.  |

What does the team think? Its pretty well impossible to fit a stove on a boat in a way that would meet the standards required in a residential property. I was amazed at the gaps required around ours at home compared to what the boat buildrs deemed acceptable on our boat. As a consequence some wooden areas like the cabin steps did get quite warm, hot even. Im fairly sure an adaptor could be sourced for your flue but im open to correction. |

If you followed the manufacturers instructions it would end up in the middle of the boat! I had a Squirrel in my last boat that had certainly "browned" the wood nearest the flue. This one is an extra stove to keep the rear of the boat warmer - the downside of walk-through bathrooms. |

Quality Dutch item maybe bargemast has seen these. Pelgrim is the maker. Pelgrim is indeed an old Dutch make of stove, they exist for about 100 years, so even before I was born  . My parents had several of Pelgrim stoves to provide heat in the house, and one for cooking (a long long time ago). Here a few examples   Peter. |
