Review of Morso Squirrel Cleanheat stove
17 years of flawless service
Our Morso Cleanheat Squirrel must rate as the best thing we have ever bought for our house. We had it installed 17 years ago and it replaced an open coal fire... what a difference! Instead of smoke, soot and dust coming into the room and our heat up the chimney we had a superb perfectly controllable stove and have never looked back. The only thing we have replaced on the stove is the glass, plus regular blackening from time to time.
You do need to look after it - don't let it go into ''superheat'' (it tells you about this in the instructions) and use a thermostat on the fire for accurate temperature control. We look forward every autumn to being able to light this wonderful cosy fire, just a few smokeless bricks and a couple of logs last all evening and take the chill off the whole house (3 bed semi). We have experienced other fires in rented cottages and have a different stove in our house in France but this stove is the best! The heat you get from such a small stove is amazing and the controllability using the two air intakes is something to behold. You can literally control the dance pattern of the flames once you know what you are doing. Our top tip is to root the flue out of the back leaving the top flat to allow you to heat up takeaway pizza on some strong foil. We have even cooked welsh cakes on it! We expect this stove to last us our lifetime, it is so well built.Stove expert replied: Great review and very versatile heating food on the top.
