4.0 Alternative fuel types
Your new Morsø stove is EN-approved for burning wood.
However, the stove is capable of burning other solid fuels as manufactured smokeless coal
or good quality anthracite (stove nuts). If you fire your stove with any fuel other than wood, it
may help to use coal insert/fuel economisers (available for most models), which simply fit into
the left and right sides of the firebox. Designed primarily to guide the solid fuel over the grate
area they also slightly reduce the firebox capacity allowing you to have smaller fires.
This is an additional accessory and can be purchased from your authorised Morsø dealer.
BITUMINOUS HOUSE COAL SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN YOUR STOVE.
Before burning solid fuel
Install the coal insert (where available) into the left and right sides of the firebox. All stove
models are supplied with 1 front grate bar, however in the case of the 1400 series an optional
second front grate bar can be purchased from your Authorised Morsø Dealer. A second front
grate bar will allow for a deeper fire bed and a longer burn time.
IN ALL MODELS NEVER LOAD THE FUEL ABOVE THE FRONT GRATE BAR LEVEL.
Lighting with solid fuel
All air vents must be fully open during the lighting process.
Start by placing 5-10 crumpled sheets of newspaper or 2 Morsø firelighters on the grate of
the stove; then carefully spread approximately 1 kg of well-dried kindling on the top. Light the
paper/firelighters. Once the kindling has fully ignited, gradually add a small quantity of solid
fuel, adding a little bit more once it has ignited. Continue in this manner until the entire grate
is covered with glowing coals. The level of fuel in the stove should never exceed the level of
the front grate(s). Once the bottom half of the fuel bed is glowing, you should partly close the
primary air supply. Once the stove has reached your desired temperature you can maintain
the output by opening further for more heat or closing for less heat. The secondary air regula-
tor must always be open just enough so that the flames burn almost clearly and the ceramic
glass window stays clean.
In order to maintain the combustion process, the entire grate area must remain covered by glow-
ing coals. If the coal layer is too shallow you will have less heat and it would not be necessary to
supply air via the top vent. You must empty the ash pan whenever it becomes full. Different fuels
have different ash content and therefore the regularity of the de-ashing process can vary.
Fuel storage
Your fuel supply should always be stored in a suitable, weather-tight coal bunker. These are
usually available through your approved coal merchant.
Note: In cases where smokeless fuels containing petrocoke are burned, a pale
greyish layer may be deposited on the inner glass surface when the stove is lit.
Fuels containing a high content petrocoke may cause a glistening in the surface
of the ceramic glass. Although visible, the structure of the glass will remain intact
and the stove safe. Glass is not covered by the manufacturer’s 10-year guarantee.
