Review of Morso Squirrel Cleanheat stove

I have one of these on my narrow boat, with a back boiler. It does a good job of keeping the boat warm. The back boiler runs two radiators and is more effective than the one on the previous (non cleanburn) model I had. The only thing is that when the stove is kept low not much heat goes into the radiators but this is inevitable. The airwash is not brilliant when burning wood, especially slowly. It is quite easy to keep in overnight provided a good smokeless fuel is used with a low burn setting. Overall I am pleased with this stove, and expect it to last a long time.
