Reliability of WALLAS 85DU/270

It has excellent reviews,so that was a factor. Also, it has no fan, nor needs one, and that was appealing, especially for sleeping at night. Finally, it radiates heat at low wattage. Most ceramic heaters, including the WM one we have, require 1200 to 1500 watts. That's quite a load on an alternator and/or inverter's house batteries. The 400w setting is plenty sufficient for warming up the cabin.

I've been meaning to ask you. I made a brief appearance at the Anacortes Trawler fest when some C-Brats were there. Met Trinity, Dr. Bob, and a 3rd person who owned a C-Dory. Was that you? If so, you're a heck of a nice guy. If not, you're a heck of a nice guy. :>

All good reasons! Thanks.

I don't know if I met you at TrawlerFest or not -- I am not very good at remembering the names that go with faces (and sometimes not even the faces! :embarrased) but here is a photo of me in Mexico (the hair is shorter now, but I don't remember if that happened before or after the CBGT) -- now you can tell me if we met or not!

Nope. The mystery continues. :> However, I'll try to look you up at the next one.

The Wallas 95D series stoves will respond best to several control disciplines to reduce internal sooting:

1. Start with the throttle on high.
2. Make gradual power changes when running.
3. Do not run for long periods on the lowest setting with the lid down.

Using good kerosene or Klean Heat will reduce problems associated with ignoring these disciplines. Turning the power to high before shut down will simply hasten the cool down process.

The Wallas 85D stoves do not require any of the above observances, since they use a more complex start cycle, processor controlled speed change buffering and the lid fan speed changes with throttle changes to prevent overcooling. These features make them more capable of burning diesel under all circumstances and it makes diesel the fuel of choice for the 85D.

Thanks for using Wallas and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
