Review of a Morsø Wood Stove 1440 B

[@Idahorusty]

Nice stove. How many square feet does your home have and what is the ceiling height?

[@MountainDesertFarm]

Our home is just over 2000 square feet & from floor to ceiling is 8 feet. Hope that helps!

[@Idahorusty]

Wow! Based on Morso's info, I would have guessed your home to be half that. Is this stove your primary heat source? Thanks.

[@MountainDesertFarm]

We treat it as our primary heat source. We do have a central propane furnace system that we have set to a very low setting (62 degrees). We get up at night to stoke the fire so the furnace almost never kicks on. We just went through a very cold spell at night (under 20 degrees) for about a week. We kept the stove going 24 hours, the lowest it got in our house was 64 degrees at night. Hope that helps!

@@MountainDesertFarm great video. I've just got the some stove and I appreciate some advice. how often do you empty the ash? do you completely empty the ash? I heard it's good to leave some ash as ash bed but I don't know how you would achieve that.

[@MountainDesertFarm]

@@siamakga Hello! I clean out the ash completely, every time I start up the stove. If there are any coals on top I leave them, but the ash I would recommend cleaning it out and not leaving any in the pan. During the really cold months (when I would burn for a full 24 hours), I would let the fire burn down to coals but not let it go out. Then "with the mitten" or a fire glove, clean out the ash and stoke the fire back up...that would be once every 15-20 hours. Hope that helps!

How did you open the bottom vent? I've read in other countries it's not welded shut but America being america they weld it shut and somehow it's safer to lite it with the door open 🤷‍♂

[@MountainDesertFarm]

Hello, the bottom vent on our stove has a nut/bolt on the inside of the door. The nut holds the vent shut tight. We undid the nut, added a washer, and then screwed it back on. This allows for a tiny gap of air to feed the fire, in addition to the main vent. We will make a small video showing the process. Very simple. (The instruction manual however says the bottom vent is to be closed at all times, fwiw.)

[@MountainDesertFarm]

I have posted a new video about this stove & addressed your question in it. Hope it helps you out!

We just got this very stove but I don't know if I'm supposed to use fire cement , where the pipe hooks on top can you please help me with this ?Thank you !

[@MountainDesertFarm]

Hello, we did not need to use fire cement when hooking up the stove pipe to the stove. In our case, we piped it out the back because it was more convenient for us in our location inside the house. Everything that the stove came with will suffice for installation. You could also talk to whoever you bought the stove from and they can verify as well.

You need the bottom vent open to burn anthracite coal It is a multifuel stove - yes ?

[@MountainDesertFarm]

Per the website, wood is the only fuel recommended. Also, we don't have access to coal.

[@patrickmcnamara3879]

It is multifuel Ccording to Morso Coal can be burned but you need the Morso diagonal metal coal inserts to help direct the coal to the grate I'm in the heart of Pennsylvania coal country I love this model stove O have a Jotul 602 That can only burn wood This one is cuter and better I want one so i can have two stoves in the cabin
