Any thoughts on DIESEL STOVE will be appreciated

Default DIESEL STOVE

Why?
What's the advantage over using one liquid fuel over the other? Most people
would go to propane or CNG

Default DIESEL STOVE

Carrying one kind of fuel and a lower volatility one at that might bethe
reason. However I use propane for cooking but I use diesel for heating the
cabin which meant I could getread of kerosene. I have a small amount of
gasoline for the dinghy OB in it's own overside vented storage area with
fireproofing material, afire detector and an internally mounted, externally
operated extinguisher. Not hard or expensive to set up. Otherwise the OB
gas tanklives on deck, aft, where if I have to I can ditch it fast. To
change the Webasco heater to diesel required one part. It'sin it'sown
compartment back aft too with a forced air heatingtube coming up to the
cabin and forepeak. So I mostly carry diesel and propane (also in theirown
safety stowage areas. Diesel's disadvantage is it will burn dirty and mess
up the cabin quite easily so my setup takes care ofthat. The final fuel,
also stored back with the OB gas is for the oil lamps. So I got rid of one
fuel but kept four others. Thinking about what I can do away with next.

First of all, everything else equal, there is a clear advantage in
having one fuel for all,
IE engine, heating and cocking.
I have a diesel engine + heating but propane stove. The safety
regulations on the Thames river
are stricter than in other places and thus there it does make sense to
use diesel from the same tank.
My original question was whether or not diesel cooking heats up as
good and fast as propane,
smell?? easy to clean? etc. TNX

OK, if you are trying to simplify things by carrying only one liquid fuel I
can see that.
I don't think diesel stoves heat nearly as fast as propane. I understand
they can smoke when first started, will likely blacken your pots and will
eventually need cleaning. I have a diesel cabin heater mounted on my
bulkhead. Its not fun to clean. Gloves are a must.

It kinda depends on the type of diesel or paraffin (kerosene) stove you
have or are considering..

I have tied pressure diesel and kerosene and was never happy with the
whole priming/preheat routne..

I presently have a non pressure diesel galley stove but seldom use it in
the summer because of the heat that builds up in the case iron
stoveriprovides more hot wate
