Review of Morso Squirrel Cleanheat stove

Best stove in the world

I Jessop 8 years ago

My first memory of this stove is when I was a child, that stove is still in use in our family holiday house and needs nothing doing to it.

Bought one for our house around ten years ago, absolutely amazing. Unlike some of the cheep ones from china, this has a really tight seal meaning I can shut down with good dry softwood and it will burn for ten hours, 12 with hardwood. At this time of year the Squirrel never goes out, burns day and night. Over the ten years I have replaced the baffle plate once, suspect that night burn with coal caused it to warp and crack. £30 for a replacement. This stove is well worth the money, your buying a stove for life when you buy one of these!

Stove expert replied: Smokeless fuel is recommended on a close appliance and not household coal which burns with long flames and subjects the internal components to higher than normal working temperatures. Great review.
