NAVIGATOR STOVE WORKS, INC.
 The History of Our Stoves

 

In '99, Navigator Stove Works acquired the rights to produce a

select number of Lunenburg Foundry's traditional cast iron marine stoves.

Designed originally for boats, these stoves are equally suited for use

in small spaces on land (300 sq.ft. or less) where a larger

conventional woodburning stove would be impractical.


Located in Nova Scotia, Canada, Lunenburg produced a wide

range of marine equipment for commercial vessels and yachts

since the company's founding in 1891. Lunenburg ceased producing

stoves in 1993 with the closure of their iron foundry.

Utilizing Lunenburg's vintage foundry patterns, Navigator

is currently producing the SARDINE and the LITTLE COD.



BLUE COD & PLAIN IRON SARDINE

The HALIBUT, designed by Navigator, features an oven and a glass

window in the upper firebox door. This solid fueled cookstove

integrates and updates the best functional design elements from several

boat oriented stove foundries. SHIPMATE being one of the best known examples.

The HERRING, is NSW's upcoming BioDiesel/Diesel model.

Current bench testing using B99 BioD. is looking very promising.

As BioD's physical properties are different from regular Diesel,

there are a few extra design challenges to be met. BioD. is quite an agreeable

fuel and we look forward to offering a liquid fueled stove that is both traditional

and modern. (dare we say GGG....Green?)
