Questions for Morso 1410 owners/users

[soot]

We are considering buying a Morso 1410 and would like to hear from anyone who owns or has experience with this stove.

We live in upstate New York. We would be installing it in an unheated part of our house, which is about 500 square feet, and consists of 2 rooms linked by an open double doorway.

Questions that come to mind are:

1) Will the stove produce enough heat for this space?
2) How often does it need to be refilled to maintain high heat output?
3) How much wood does it use?

One possibility we are considering is buying the coal-burning model, which can also burn wood. We’re not sure yet which fuel we’d burn more often. Does anyone have experience with using the coal model for wood? How does it perform?

Any other comments, feedback, complaints, etc. on any other topics we might not have thought of would be welcome!

How well insulated is it? What are the windows like?

I'm guessing it would be big enough unless the insulation and windows are truly terrible.

One thing to consider is the 12" maximum log size... not a problem if you cut your own wood (would probably dry faster?), but could be difficult if you buy firewood already cut.

A larger stove like the 2110 or Jotul F3CB would be more manageable. It takes time to get a cold space up to room temp, so you'll want to think about how often the stove has to be tended. The 1410 is a small stove. When it gets cold outside, it will need refilling very frequently to keep temps up, especially if this is a poorly insulated space. And small wood splits are a pain in the butt.
