Review of Morso Squirrel 1412 smokeless stove
Excellent stove
This is my 4th stove and without a doubt the best by far. Firstly there''s some confusion whether this stove can burn smokeless fuel, so I phoned Morso and yes of course it can although they are aware on some sites that confusion still exists. Its my first fully cast iron stove and I was a tad hesitant, but I can confirm its just so much better then steel or steel cast combo in my view. It burns well, clean and slumber''s well also, no smoke can be seen from the chimney at all when the wood is burning, none, of course you get a tiny amount when you light or refuel it. The airwash system is highly efficient. Please note that when you light this for the first 3-6 times you need to steadily increase the temp to ''burn'' in the paint. The first 3 times we had to close all the room doors and open the windows and yes it was the worst we''ve had in as far as smoke from the paint. But again to be expected and not a problem, just be ready for this. I really dont have anything negative whatsoever to say about this stove. The Morso mitten is useless is the only thing I can mention lol. Morso even bolt the stove to the pallet for transport so dont try and just lift it off!!!! Its bolted under the stove. Ive read some reviews regarding burning and smoke issues, Ive had no problems at all, nothing and maybe they are due to flue problems and not the stove?? I have 9 metres of 125mm 904 liner fitted. I highly highly recommend this stove. Well made, solid, excellent clean burning stove.
