....that is the question.
I've been calling this a 2b but after looking around on the web, I think it may be a 2bo.
We have a Jotul Oslo on order and are going to be putting the Morso up for sale.
I want to be correct when I list it. Thanks for any help. Also, does anyone know the value?

Can't answer that, just wanted to compliment you on your stove-to-not-be-anymore and your setup. I like the lean, clean hearth look--and I'm just very partial to squirrel stoves. There was a thread on here a week or so ago where someone was considering getting one. You might have a sale there.

Good luck with your new stove.
 
Thanks! It's been a great stove.
 
We wanted to get something with a longer burn time. Depending on the the temperature, we would load the Morso about every 4 hours.
We have a 3 bdr. ranch, 1500 sq ft. and would leave the bedroom doors shut. It would heat the house to 75 degrees at times.
This was our test stove to see if we wanted to get back to indoor wood stoves, and we loved it.
 
Great stove. How old is it? Can you wait until fall to sell for a better price?

We also owned an Oslo - about 4 hrs. between loads on that stove too.
In some ways, I would see it as a "washout".
Sure you want to sell it???
 
We don't know the age of the stove. We've used it for two winters. Got it from a family member that never used it, and it was in the home that they bought.
 
Random thoughts . . .

Welcome to the forum.

Good looking old stove.

The Oslo is also a good stove . . . burn time depends on what you're loading it with . . . and when you reload. I figure 4-6 hours normally if I'm looking for steady heat . . . but I can get an overnight burn of 7-9 hours with not a lot of heat, but enough coals to easily get the fire going in the morning.
 
Thanks. Glad to hear the good report on the Oslo. Sounds like just what we are looking for. That's a relief since it's been ordered. :)
 
vicky, back to your original question. If the stove is as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, I would estimate you could get about $800 for it.
 
That is a Morso 2B Classic. It has been around for decades in one form or another. The only obvious difference I see between yours and the current model is that the current one has a glass window on the door. They currently retail for about $1600, so I'd guess BeGreen is about right.
 
Thank you! I'm glad to know what model it is and what it's worth! I appreciate the info.
