Excellent in parts
Bad points: If you flue the stove from the rear you must remove the top baffle to give good draw and avoid smoke every time you stoke it up. Morso tech help advised this. And you must remove

Moso Badger 3142
bought and fitted in 2002 used for 8 months of the year. Price paid £750 used to heat a room 60 m2 / not often used on a high setting mostly medium. Can stay in all night if desired. fuel: Pure Heat / occasionally wood Parts replaced / 1 x glass Fire bricks are now cracked but still in place Riddling grate distorted and jammed, not replaced yet as a poker easily cleans the dust left behind from Pure heat Ash-pan does not quite catch all the ash but this is not a problem The stove still seals really well and can be closed right down if needed I have managed to accidentally let the stove 'rip' a few times after getting distracted after lighting. This was the cause of the riddling grate getting distorted The air wash system is OK but not brilliant, better with clean fuel The handle is a good positive motion but does get hot Benefit of the convector model is furnishing can be closer Obviously a very well made bit of kit that looks set to last a long timeStove expert replied: Good solid stove providing great service over many years.

Primary control?
Just got a badger stove installed. Instructions not the best. Primary control on the front only turns fully once, doesn't seem to make any difference... Do I need to loosen it? Also when first -
Morso badger
The badger will keep you very warm to the extent we keep the doors open in the living room but its not without faults. We also have a Morso owl which is easier to control and refuel. The problem with the badger is it is difficult to light on cold still nights due to down pressure in the twin wall stainless flue and it ends up emitting smoke into the room when refuelling. Morso say to leave the door ajar when refuelling but it doesn't always work. Ours is installed correctly and I think it is over damped which in effect inhibits gases getting out of the stove. We're going to bin it and install something simpler. -
Superb *****
Brilliant stove. Those Scandinavians certainly know what they are doing. It's easy to use and contrary to what Rodney Strain says, the airwash works brilliantly. OK, so it's dear, but you certainly -

Great stove, have had no problems. Not sure how to use as multi fuel as only using for wood at present. It is really lovely would buy again.Stove expert replied: Great review.

Not as good as a squirrel
Agree wholeheartedly with Michael Botham and others. This could be great little stove ... good-looking, very efficient, beautiful castings and overall build-quality, but is let down in a couple of important areas. My biggest gripe is the very poor ash handling; as pointed out by others, much of the ash simply misses the ash pan and is subsequently diffcult to remove - particulary from a hot stove. The worst aspect is the riddling mechanism: The heavy cast plate fits snuggly into the bottom grate and frequently jams. At this point the link arm usually pops off and can only be re-fitted once the stove has gone out. The whole mechanism is so badly designed that I usually resort to shovelling ash out by hand then brushing the remainder through the small slots in the riddling plate. We have a Morso Squirrel in another room that has none of these problems and is, in my opinion, a better stove all round.Stove expert replied: Disappointing problem with the grate and ash removal system.

Morso Badger 3112
Excellent stove. Took a long time to decide which stove, but I am glad that we decided on this one, we also have Dunsley Highlander 8 in another room, but the Morso is easier to light, keep in and seems to give off more heat. We have not tried burning smokeless fuels yet, since we only burn well seasoned wood, mainly oak, we check all wood with a moisture meter before burning and try and stack it close to the fire for 24hr before it is needed. Just fill up the firebox before bed time and shut all controls down, then first thing in morning, open up everything, stir up bed of ashes place a few small pieces of wood on the ash bed, leave door ajar for 5mins then more often or not it relights without problems.Stove expert replied: Take care not to stack your wood too close to the stove, it is combustible!!!

Badger3112
Superb stove. Heats up 2 rooms, one of which has a vaulted ceiling about 4m in height. There has been many a Dec/ Jan / Feb that we have had to open the windows to let the heat out. So happy with this stove that I am in the process of buying one for my house in France. Once it gets going, the heat produced is felt at about 3m away. We use mainly logs (always hardwood) and on a very cold day / night, add a few smokeless coal lumps.Stove expert replied: Another great review for a Morso stove, amazing heat produced for such a small model.
