Review of Morso Panther stove
29 years of daily use - Morso Panther
It is an elegant beast. Cast iron finish does not look its age. After using daily every winter for 29 years it is time for the Panther to move on. It still works but has always been a little large at 8kW for the room. The specific model we have is the 2130 and we have used it mostly with wood but it does multi-fuel as well. It has had the side bricks replaced every few years and the odd glass pane and door rope kit but that is it. The inner back plate developed a burn hole a few years ago but we plugged it with rock wool and it has been fine. The main weakness of the Panther is that it does not have sufficient draw for pure wood burning - however if the grate is opened slightly and the front door spinners opened half a turn or so, then it is great. The fire box is very large so usually we put a house brick at each side and then can run a smaller fire hot. Lighting has never been a problem. It does not have tertiary air and doesn''t meet DEFRA standard (but we live in the country). There are better modern stoves ... but this one hasn''t died yet.
