late 70's morso 1125, what are my obstacles?

[Nathan Brown]

I plan to install a good condition late 70's morso 1125. First, will this stove meet current regulations. Second, where can I find a manual for this stove. My searching has only turned up a picture of the stove, found on this site, no specifics of it's installation or usage. Any info would be appreciated.

Probably a manual out there somewhere....did you send an email to the Morso importer to see if they have old manuals around.

At the time (way back when), this stove did have a lab testing and listing....but it can be hard to track these down. Good stove, though.

I always liked the look of this stove. It seemed more inviting and less troll-like than the Jotul Combifire 1. I'd try emailing [email protected] for the manual.

Is it the green one out of CT? Beautiful stove!

thanks for all the advice, i will contact morso and see what they may have. it is not the the green one in Ct. It is the stove i grew up with as a youngster and has been residing unused for the last 15 years in our barn. Now it's making a big comeback in my home.
thanks again

Lacking documentation, plan on 3 feet from combustibles. It can be reduced to 18" in some circumstances with a wall shield. Give the interior of the stove a close look for warping of the baffle. I'd also start off with fresh door gaskets.
