Updated Review of a Morsø 1440 B Wood Stove

We did a review on this stove last year. Since then we have had questions about it, particularly about the bottom vent. This is an updated review of the stove and will show how we dealt with the bottom vent issue.
Even after 3 years of using this stove, our previous review is still the same...
we LOVE our wood stove! It still is our main source of heating our home.
Here is a link to their website, particularly to this stove:

Can you tell me what type of material your hearth is made of and the thickness please , it looks very nice , thanks

Hi, that is the Morsø Black Steel Plate. That is their hearth plate. Our stove dealer had it and it's worked for us. There are lots of other options out there though. Being painted metal, it does get warm but we've never seen it get hot.

The bottom vent is for decorative only. According to the manual. Should use only the top to adjust air

[@MountainDesertFarm]

That's correct. However, in the early days when we had just installed the stove, during low pressure weather days, we had a hard time getting the fire to start. After we cracked that lower vent by installing the washer, it has helped the fire to take off during those weather periods and we've never had another problem since.

@@MountainDesertFarmthat’s really good to know. I’m just getting ready to fire mine up. They also note something odd in their manual about not firing over night? Don’t understand that

[@MountainDesertFarm]

@@josephriley3658 That is interesting. We have had no problems stoking it and burning through the night.

In Denmark the bottom vent is functional. I'm not sure when it should be used though.

Can I buy one in the U.S ?

Yes, Morsø has dealers in the U.S.
