(Formerly
of Brooklyn, NY)
Navigator Stove Works
is located on Orcas Island within Washington State's San Juan Islands.
We welcome you to stop by for a visit or to pick-up your order.
The workshop is about a mile from Eastsound's town dock @ 509 Double Hill Road.
Please do give us a ring before you come on over.
The islands are also ferry served via Anacortes, Wa. & Sidney, B.C., Canada.
Designed originally for boats, these US EPA & Wa. State Certified stoves are equally well suited for use in
small spaces on land (300 sq.ft. or less) where a larger, conventional woodburning stove would be impractical.
About half the stoves
we build end up being used in this way. See the photo
page for some examples.

The HALIBUT,
designed by Navigator, features an oven, a glass window
in the upper firebox door,

WASHINGTON STOVE WORKS (of Everett, Wa.) being two of the best known examples.
A porcelain HALIBUT is
truly a beautiful object!

The
HERRING, is NSW's upcoming BioDiesel/Diesel model.
Current bench testing using B99 BioD. is looking very good..
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?) Please let us know if you'd like to
reserve
one from the limited first batch of HERRINGs. We are currently building half a dozen
and pricing & further
info will follow.....
