morso stove

Hi, does anybody have any experience of morso stoves? Particularly the S 50.

We have a Squirrel 1430, we find it very good.
The steel stoves don't hold the heat like cast iron stoves. Some of the modern style stoves have soapstone cladding to help with heat retention
You could also look at Jydepeisen they have some nice models.

Do you mean the steel stoves go cold quickly if fire dies down? I have seen an S 50 in operation and it was hard to stand near it for long and was only burning two short logs at the time. Having said that, the owner knew I was coming to look at it and may have been up early to get the heat going!!

Hi Morso stoves have an excellent reputation for quality and function.

There is one owner review for the S50 http://www.whatstove.co.uk/morso-stoves/morso-s50.html

Steel stoves have the advantage as they start producing a good heat after 10 minutes and if your room has good insulation then the room will still be warm in the morning. I don't recommend overnight burning as it soots up the glass and chimney and burning only wood you can get creosote/tar forming in the flue if the air supply is totally closed.

Steel stoves heat up and cool down faster than cast iron.
They hold the heat longer, for instance I filled our Morso Squirrel last night at half twelve and the stove still feels warm this morning.

Just wondering does anybody know a supplier for 'woodwarm' stoves in Ireland? Can only find one in Armagh and as I live on the west coast would prefer somewhere nearer to me!

Cheers stove fan... I was looking at Fire view 4.5kw and this appears to be what we are looking for. Is there any other make or model which you would consider comparable?

Not off hand no:) Woodwarm has the same quality and better features as Clearview but a bit cheaper on price. Great stove. Woodwarm will be my next stove:). The nice thing about woodwarm is they work very well and have a good view of the fire and a double glazed door:). See youtube to see some burning:
