We would strongly recommend that you do not leave your stove alit at night.
It harms the environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the
gases in the wood do not ignite at the low temperature, but settle as soot
(unburned gases) in the chimney and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor
draught in the chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in the
worst-case scenario, cause an explosive ignition.
When ring in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the
combustion will be poor. The stove provides too much heat, so the combustion
should be reduced. But always remember to make sure that there are lasting
ames until the wood becomes charcoal. If you want a weaker re, stoke up
using less wood.
If you re the stove using wet wood, a lot of the fuel’s thermal energy will be
spent forcing the water out of the wood, without releasing any heat to the
stove. This incomplete combustion results in a layer of soot being left in the
stove, pipe and chimney.
Comparison between ring with wood and oil

The stove’s rated heat output is 7.3 kW. Your new Morsø stove is EN-tested for ring with
wood, and is suitable for intermittent use.
