Can you use NeverFlame on a boat?

According to marine insights, the best way to deal with boat galley fires is to prevent them. Most marine stoves use one of various combustible fuels or electricity. The stoves must fit in the galley and are modified for use when the boat is moving.

However, there is still the risk of a fire if the operating conditions change due to exposure to combustible fuels.

Types of Stoves

1.   Electric Stove

These are found on large boats with a 120V AC power potential or powered from an external Genset. They are relatively safe because they do not involve explosive gases or open flames.

Electric stoves are impractical in small boats unless they bring onboard an AC Genset.

2.    Alcohol Stoves

These are more convenient on powerboats. They are relatively safe, with no chance of explosions. However, the fuel has a low heat content and burns with offensive odors. The fuel is also expensive, and it's flame is relatively weak.

Fuel in pressurized tanks is preheated to vaporize and burn effectively. The preheating process may cause flare-ups sending flames high above the stove. Stove flare-ups cause most boat fires.

1. LPG Stoves

LPG stoves are replacing alcohol and kerosene stoves on new boats. LPG is more compact and stable and has a high heat content. It also lights without preheating and burns without odors. LPG is heavier than air, settling in lower areas of the hull in the event of a leak. LPG ignites and explodes in high concentrations with the potential to blow the boat apart.

Increased Safety and Fire Prevention

We can take several precautions to prevent fires on board boats, such as installing flame and heat detectors. However, these tend to alert you only after the fire has started.

FLAMELESS Cooking

We can prevent galley fires by using flameless cookware from NEVERFLAME onboard boats. The flameless cooking system is very safe, portable, and convenient. It has no flame, odors, fumes, or soot.

Flameless cooking uses a 3000W power pack which is chargeable onboard, eliminating the need to store fuel. Increase safety on your boat by adapting flameless cooking today.
