The thing I like about the Espars is they suck in combustion air from outside and vent the exhaust outside. This adds a layer of safety.
The wood/coal stove on our old Dickerson sucked air from inside the boat and up the flu, it seems to help dry things out. When I am cooking in the winter I need to crack the hatch or I get water condensing on various things, which somewhat defeats the purpose of trying to use a cooking stove to heat the boat.
One invention I have for long winter trips is 4 socks. 2 are on my feet and 2 are on the engine. You swap socks about every half hour. Be warned, if you have smelly socks the crew will mutiny
