About Stoves & Ovens




Boat Ovens & Marine Stoves


You're on the boat miles from shore and the fishing is fantastic. It's been a long time since breakfast, so what's a hungry angler to do? Why, cook that catch, of course! With a stove on board of your boat, you can satisfy your hunger without leaving that fantastic fishing spot behind. A stove or oven opens up a world of possibilities to even non-angling boaters.

If you like to bake, you'll definitely want an oven. Two features to look for are a convection setting and an enamel-lined oven box. Convection baking is about 25% faster, meaning less fuel consumption. Enamel holds the heat very well, which results in more even cooking. However, you shouldn't pass up an otherwise perfect stove because it lacks either of these oven features. So How Do I Choose?

Whether you're frying the catch or creating a delicate sauce for it, you'll appreciate the comfort and convenience an onboard stove provides. We have an outstanding collection of marine cookers and sailboat stoves. From a single-burner portable stove to a fixed stove with oven, you'll find the full range of stoves at Defender.

Your choice of stove will depend on how much cooking and/or baking you intend to do onboard your ship, the space you have available for a stove or cooktop, the type of power or fuel available for cooking, and your budget. Fortunately, Defender's low prices can help expand even a modest budget. You may even be able to afford a stove you previously thought was out of reach when you shop with us!

    You can find boat stoves and ovens at specialized marine supply retailers, both online and in physical stores. Defender.com offers a solid selection of reliable boat cooking appliances that are designed to withstand the marine environment and fit your space constraints. When shopping for a boat stove or oven, consider the fuel type that best suits your needs-propane, alcohol, or electric-and ensure it meets safety regulations for marine use. Take measurements of your galley space to ensure a proper fit, and read product reviews to find options that have proven durability and performance on the water.

    How much boat stoves and boat ovens?

    Boat stoves and ovens can range in price from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the type, size, and features. A basic propane or alcohol stove might set you back around $300 to $600, while a more advanced electric or multi-burner model can easily exceed $1,500. When budgeting for a boat stove or oven, consider not just the purchase price but also installation and any necessary modifications to your galley. Investing in a quality unit may save you headaches down the line, so weigh your options carefully and choose one that fits your cooking style and the space you have available.

    How to I choose the right stove and oven for my boat?

    Choosing the right stove and oven for your boat starts with understanding your cooking needs and space constraints. Consider the type of fuel you want to use-propane, alcohol, or electric-based on availability and safety, as well as the size and layout of your galley to ensure a proper fit. Next, think about your cooking style. If you're a weekend cruiser who just needs to whip up a quick meal, a compact two-burner stove might suffice. However, if you're planning extended trips and want to prepare full meals, look for a model that includes an oven and offers more cooking power. Always prioritize safety features and ease of installation to ensure a smooth setup on your boat.
