Wood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (approximately 75 %). The gases
are released when the wood is lit and heated up. For this reason, it is important that
the gases are ignited quickly after stoking. If the wood just lies smouldering, especi-
ally after re-stoking, a lot of smoke is created, which, in the worst case, may cause an
explosive ignition of the gasses, resulting in damage to the stove.
In order to ignite the gases that are released from the wood, and to keep clear, las-
ting ames during the combustion process, it is important to let in the required
quantity of oxygen (air supply) at all times. The setting of the air supply, the method
of ignition and the lighting intervals depend on the draught in the chimney, the wind
and weather, the amount of heat required, the fuel, etc. This means that it may take
some time before you get to know the correct functioning of the stove under any
given circumstances.
Although you can re your Morsø stove with almost all kinds of wood, you should
not re with wet wood, or unseasoned wood. Wood ought to be stored under a roof
for at least 1 year, and preferably 2 years, with free access to wind. Wood should be
chopped as soon as possible after felling if it is to dry quickly. The wood can be used
once the moisture content is less than 18 %. During the EN test, all stoves are tested
with wood with a moisture content of (16 ± 4)%.
Never use driftwood, as it usually has a high salt content, which damages both the
stove and the chimney. Impregnated and painted wood and chipboard emit poiso-
nous smoke and fumes, so they should not be used as fuel either.
Please note that liquid fuel may not be used in the stove.
Pieces of wood with a diameter greater than 10 cm should always be chopped.
The pieces of wood should be short enough to be able to lie at over the layer of em-
bers, with air at both ends.
The maximum length of fuel in the stove is 30 cm.
The maximum quantity of fuel is 2 kg/hour (max. 2 pieces of wood each time you
re-stoke).
The rst few times you light the stove, the re should be moderate, so that the heat-
resistant paint can harden before ring more vigorously. During the hardening pha-
se, the paint may develop obnoxious smoke and smell the rst time it is lit, which is
very normal. Make sure that the room is well ventilated during this period.
When heating up or cooling down, the material is exposed to major temperature dif-
ferences that may cause the stove to give o creaking sounds.
2.0 Firing/using the stove
When the oven door is opened, the small handle in the bottom right corner of the oven is
pressed down, thereby triggering the door locking mechanism. To avoid smoke nuisance,
always open the oven door calmly for the rst 2-3 centimeters.
Their furnace is designed with air supply in 2 places. A preheated combustion air which is
applied to the combustion at high speed over the glass and is operated by means of the
handle over the door. The combustion air is supplied when the lever is moved to the right
and closed when the lever is moved to the left. Another air supply, which is a constant pre-
heated air supply without regulating possibility, is applied to the combustion just above the
re, and helps to burn o the last gases that the wood emits during the heating.
