I am expecting a Morso 7110 in a few months. Having a woodstove is new to this house, so I will likely be purchasing some local kiln dried wood to get us going for the balance of the winter (and expecting to get 16" from the local suppliers).
Moving forward, I will have control over log length with some hardwood trees on my property ready to be dropped and CSS. I'm hoping to do some splittin' before the installation, so I don't physically have the stove around to reference.
For the Morso 7110, I have found:
- Log length 16.5" on the website
- The manual PDF says a max of 18"
- The manual PDF later on suggests using logs ~10" in length (I think that's just for getting the stove going, though?)
- Finally, my distributor/installer is suggesting 12 or 14" to make it easier to squeeze/angle in the door for loading and reloading.
Overthinking is what I do best; can any current 7110 owners suggest what's actually reasonable and practical here? I think I'm OK with using 16" even if you have to awkwardly angle through the door, but if it's an absolute PITA and I can do 14" with my own bucking, then perhaps I'll thank myself later?
