Cooking with Wallas

At Makai, every component of on our vessels is carefully selected to reflect our commitment to performance, reliability, and user experience. That’s why we’ve chosen the Wallas 1200D diesel stove as part of our standard  galley equipment across our latest M-series catamarans. This sleek, high-efficiency unit aligns perfectly with our ethos: sophisticated design, practical innovation, and ocean-ready functionality.

1. Sleek, Modern Design That Enhances Our Interiors

• Seamless, minimalistic aesthetics
  The Wallas 1200D features a full ceramic glass top that is not only visually striking but also flush with the countertop— protruding a mere ~2 mm. Its clean, tapered edges integrate effortlessly with Makai’s premium galley surfaces, enhancing a sense of understated luxury manualzz.com+14dieselheat.com.au+14dieselheat.com.au+14wallas.fi+1yacht-supply24.com+1.
• Premium look reflecting Makai style
  We design our interiors for elegance and cleanliness. The Wallas unit’s flat, pristine surface complements our Scandinavian-inspired finishes, ensuring the galley remains an inviting, uncluttered focal point.
• Built to brave marine environments
  Constructed from high-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and corrosion-resistant materials, the stove can handle humidity, salt spray, and regular movement with durability that mirrors our boats’ resilience scanmarineusa.comwallas.fi+1nauticexpo.com+1nauticexpo.com.

2. One Fuel, Endless Possibilities

• Diesel: Onboard standard fuel
  Unlike LPG and butane systems, the 1200D runs on the same diesel that already propels the vessel. This means no separate fuel tanks, no refill logistics, and no hazardous gas lines—everything draws from the main diesel tank wallas.fi.
• Off-grid and worry-free cooking
  Wherever Makai yachts roam—from remote anchorages to open ocean—the stove will work. No need to hunt for propane; diesel is plentiful. It’s a true flushbound solution consistent with our off-grid cruising aspirations.
• Renewable fuel ready
  The “Greenboost” burner accepts renewable HVO biodiesel, burns cleaner, and reduces emissions (CO₂, NOₓ) while consuming less fuel overall marinetec-us.com+11wallas.fi+11kuranda.co.uk+11wallas.fimarineheating.co.uk+2wallas.fi+2wallas.fi+2. This meshes with Makai’s ongoing efforts to minimize our environmental footprint.

3. High Performance & Fuel Efficiency

• Ceramic burner heats fast
  The 2.2 kW burner reaches rapid heat-up times, boiling 1 L of water in approximately 10 minutes—improving efficiency and user experience marinetec-us.com+14wallas.fi+14wallas.fi+14.
• Optimized under-bench footprint
  With just a 12 cm installation depth, the unit frees up valuable cabinet space—perfect for our compact yet ergonomic designs dieselheat.com.au+1wallas.fi+1.
• Low energy draw, simple setup
  Powered by 12 V, the stove draws minimal current (0.37–0.55 A running), ensuring compatibility with standard battery systems—even in lean energy conditions dieselheat.com.au+14wallas.fi+14nauticexpo.com+14.
• Quiet, safe forced-air combustion
  The enclosed laminar burner ensures calm cooking with no open flame. Combustion air is taken from the cabin and expelled outside, promoting fresh air ingress and dehumidification yacht-supply24.com+14wallas.fi+14nauticexpo.com+14.

4. Doubling as a 2,000 BTU Cabin Heater

• Integrated heat blower lid transforms the stove
  Add the Wallas 260 heat blower to the 1200D and it becomes a powerful 2.2 kW cabin heater. With the lid closed, forced air circulates warm air into the cabin or enclosed cockpit—ideal when the tent is up wallas.fi+12wallas.fi+12wallas.fi+12.
• Space-saving hybrid appliance
  Two appliances in one: cooking and heating from the same unit means no extra footprint or expense, and less complexity onboard. It’s a classic Makai efficiency move.
• User comfort in all climates
  Whether it’s chilly mornings or misty evenings, the blow-lid heater keeps the cockpit and cabin warm, enhancing comfort without extra generators or gas heaters.

5. Reliability That Matches Makai’s Standards

• Proven Finnish engineering
  Wallas has been refining marine diesel heating and cooking since 1972. The 1200D builds on decades of proven performance, with features like a brushless blower motor and updated software for emissions controls wallas.finauticexpo.com+11yacht-supply24.com+11marineheating.co.uk+11dieselheat.com.au+9wallas.fi+9wallas.fi+9.
• Robust control and diagnostics
  The unit includes a modern control panel for status, fault codes, and remote updates—features borrowed from Wallas’s Spartan and Viking lines marinetec-us.com+3wallas.fi+3marinetec-us.com+3marineheating.co.uk+3wallas.fi+3wallas.fi+3.
• Compact and durable installation
  Our galley spaces are tight but demanding; the 1200D’s compact frame and low-profile height make it ideal for flush-mount integration and long-term resilience.

6. Safety Wins—No Propane, No Problem

• Eliminates gas hazards
  Propane systems can leak and pose explosion risks. The 1200D relies on diesel, which is far less volatile and safer to handle in marine environments.
• No pressurised tanks
  Pressure cooking systems require valves and strict regulations. Diesel stoves simply draw fuel from the main tank—passively, safely, and reliably.
• Ventilation and moisture control
  The combustion system ensures proper airflow and exhaust venting, preventing gas buildup and continuously drying cabin air wallas.fiscanmarineusa.comscanmarineusa.com.

7. Operational Convenience for Owners and Crew

• Intuitive control interface
  A single-panel design puts ignition, power-level, and diagnostic readouts within easy reach, reducing crew training and increasing ease of use.
• Quick cooking—fast performance
  Gone are the days of slow-boiling and oversized cook tops. The 1200D’s speed and responsiveness match home-cooking convenience, making daily routines smoother dieselheat.com.au+11dieselheat.com.au+11yacht-supply24.com+11scanmarineusa.com+11wallas.fi+11wallas.fi+11.
• Easy cleanup and maintainability
  The ceramic surface is easy to wipe clean, and flush-mount fits seamlessly with our galley styling—no awkward edges or elevation.
• Low maintenance, high reliability
  With water-free combustion and durable materials, the stove requires minimal care—ideal for active sailing crews and long passages.

8. Sustainability Alignment with Makai’s Vision

• Lower emissions, better fuel choice
  The Greenboost burner is optimized for renewable HVO diesel, supporting Makai’s sustainability goals and reducing environmental impact scanmarineusa.commarinetec-us.commarineheating.co.uk+2nauticexpo.com+2scanmarineusa.com+2manualzz.commarineheating.co.uk+2wallas.fi+2wallas.fi+2.
• Efficiency = fewer refills, less waste
  Faster cooking and reduced energy draw help long-range cruising—less fuel, less waste, more freedom.
• Modular upgrades
  Future eco-fuel advances? The 1200D’s software can be updated to recognize new fuel standards—a future-proof feature we appreciate in our evolving fleet.

9. Real-World Benefits on a Makai M37

• Optimized galley layout
  The flush ceramic top preserves counter space and streamlines workflows whether preparing meals underway or anchored.
• Cooking on the fly
  With rapid heat and no fuss starter system, the crew can whip up fresh meals with no delays—whether lunch cruisers or overnight voyagers.
• Warm cockpit, happy evenings
  Enclose your cockpit with a tent when chill sets in, turn on the blower lid, and enjoy cozy warmth without trailers or generators.
• Reliable in any passage
  From daily provisioning to cross-ocean legs, the built-in 1200D delivers heat and cooking without additional support systems.
