C Dory 16 Cruiser Wallas 1300 install location?

Hi, picked up a Wallas and wondering where I can put it to keep it out of the way. Under berth? Inside bulkhead? Other ideas? Has anyone done this? Thanks!

Most of the stoves are put in a cutout on the top of the galley. You have to plumb the exhaust and fuel line plus have a platform and strap to hold the fuel in place. Then the electrical should come right off the battery. Full voltage at start up and shut down is essential to the stoves operation. They cannot be used like a "Coleman" type of portible gas stoves.

Thanks! I just have a bathtub toy, no galley. Wallace 1300 forced air kerosene. Not many options but wondering if anyone has ever cut out an access hatch?

I’m not sure if this or something similar might work on your 16. On our 22 the Wallas 1300 is mounted in the otherwise wasted space on the outboard side of the front port seat cushion. I added a partition in the box under the seat that it is mounted to which is easily removed for service. The 2 1/2 gal tank, (not pictured) is mounted under the seat. I also modified the seat width a few inches to accommodate the Wallas. I have a remote switch in the Vberth so it can be turned on before getting out of bed in the morning. The warm air blows out under the dinette table so it’s nice and toasty for morning coffee. Your 16 is a beauty. Ken
