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.

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 sec-
ond 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
bottom vent (on the ash pit door). 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 top air
regulator must always be open just enough so that the flames burn almost clearly and the
ceramic glass window stays clean.
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 sur-
face 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.
