Review of Morso Owl stove

Hot Dane

Rob Gorle 16 years ago

The Morso Owl is an efficient stove. It really throws out the heat and warms up the room well. The combustion seems to be very good. There's no smoke visible outside and a relatively small amount of ash left in the tray even after several hours of burning.

It doesn't like being damped down too much but is so easy to light and heats so efficiently there's really no point. With the airflow wide open the airwash is excellent, but it is less efficient at other settings. The stove is easy to clean and overall we're very pleased with it.
