A long history. Told in brief.
The history of Morsø
Jernstøberi dates all the way back to 1853, when business graduate, N.
A. Christensen, started his own iron foundry on the Limfjord
island of
Mors.
In the first few years, the small handful of employees manufactured
everything from barn windows and memorial crosses to cooking stoves,
pots and pans.
However, N. A. Christensen wasn’t just your usual business man. With his
well-honed talent for good business and his many creative and
forward-thinking ideas, he quickly succeeded in turning the company into
one of the country’s leading iron foundries, and towards the close of
the century, Morsø’s cast goods were well-known throughout the country.
Especially the popular solid fuel stoves and cooking stoves, which had
now become the company’s most important brand.
Royal warmth
At the turn of the 20th.
century, Morsø began supplying heating systems to churches, schools and a
number of public buildings, including the state railways and various
ministries. And at the start of the 1900s, the popular imperial-style
stoves found their way into the royal apartments at Amalienborg. In
1915, various stoves had already been supplied to the palaces at
Amalienborg and to several other royal residences, and the company was
therefore bestowed the prestigious title of Purveyor to His Majesty the
King by King Christian X. Later, in 1969, the title was changed to
Purveyor to the
Royal Danish Court.
Always in front
Right from the earliest years, development and innovation have been
an important driving force for Morsø Jernstøberi. Various
history-making products and principles have, therefore, put the
beautiful island in Limfjord on the map. For example, the convection
principle, which at the turn of the new century was developed in
cooperation with other foundries, and which has set completely new
standards on how efficiently and especially how comfortably we can heat
our homes with a solid fuel stove.
When central heating and, therefore, radiators began to make their
mark in Danish homes in the 1950s, the solid fuel stove was
out-competed. But Morsø showed once again that it had its finger on the
pulse, when the revolutionary open fireplace stove, the 1122, was
launched. In so doing, Morsø opened up a completely new market and a
completely new way of making life warmer. In two senses of the word.
In summary, Morsø has, step by step, led the way in both new
designs and new ways of combining form and function; efficiency with
beauty and comfort – and also in recent years with environmental
awareness. For generations, Morsø has been the quintessence of a
Danish stove. At once both timeless and modern and at the same time efficient and cozy.
Morsø stoves are made of cast iron, which most people agree is the best material for a
stove.
No matter how hard others have tried to produce new, cheaper and lighter materials,
nobody has managed to produce a stove with the same unique properties as the cast iron
stove:
| •
|
All stoves want to expand as they get hot. However, cast iron has a thermal tension,
which makes the material especially well suited to changing temperatures. The result
is that a Morsø cast-iron stove will never warp or deform correctly used.
|
| •
|
Morsø stove are not welded or cemented together – they are assembled with gasket and
then bolted together, which insures that a Morsø stoves will remain tightly sealed for the
life of the stove.
|
| •
|
Cast iron is highly resistant to burn-through.
|
| •
|
The thickness of the cast iron we use at Morsø is nearly twice
as thick as a stove made of plate steel. So, our stoves retain heat
longer.
|
| •
|
Cast iron’s ability to distribute the heat is much better than that of steel. This means that
the heat from a Morsø cast-iron stove always feels more comfortable and a pleasure to be close to.
|
| •
|
Morsø stoves have a 10-year warranty against defects in manufacturing. Please see owner’s manual for details.
|
| •
|
Morsø stoves are made of the highest quality cast iron – using 98% recycled material.

From Klint to Ritterband
People from all over the world have marvelled at Danish design for
many years. Through their unique creativity, various Danish architects
and designers have put themselves and Denmark on the world map.
At Morsø Jernstøberi we have a long tradition of allowing some of these people to unleash their talents on new models.
One of the earlier ones was the architect, Kaare Klint, who, up
until his death in 1954, left many an unforgettable mark on Danish
furniture art and furnishings. In 1944, Kaare Klint designed a quite
special wood-burning stove for Morsø. The stove was decorated with a
poem by Johannes V. Jensen, who, that same year, received the Nobel
Prize for Literature.
Morsø’s range is extensive and
encompasses stoves to cover a whole variety of needs. So, despite the
fact that the natural thing is to let taste and appeal decide and to
start by looking at the various models’ designs, we recommend you
consider a few points first.
Radiant or convection stove?
There are two different types of wood-burning stove: radiant stoves
and convection stoves. The radiant stove concentrates the heat around
the stove itself, while the convection stove quickly distributes the
heat out into the whole room. The type you choose will therefore greatly
depend on what you want your stove for. If you want cosiness and warmth
close to the stove, the radiant stove is a good choice. If, on the
other hand, the stove is also to play an effective role in heating your
home as a primary heat source, you should choose a convection stove.
Wood has quite a special property when talking about CO2. As the
tree grows, it absorbs and locks in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide
as part of the photosynthesis process. Precisely the same amount of CO2
is released into the atmosphere, when the tree is felled and burnt. If
burning-off takes place efficiently, the count adjusts downwardly, so we
can say that wood is CO2-neutral and therefore a green energy source.
Not only that, wood –
unlike e.g. oil, coal or gas - can be reproduced by planting new trees
to replace those cut down. The neutral CO2-cycle can therefore be
maintained. Generation after generation.
To bring the CO2 count
completely down to zero, the wood, as mentioned above, must be burnt off
as efficiently as possible. And this is where Morsø’s stoves score
their first important points. Our many years of experience and constant
development mean that, today, each and every one of our stoves are among
the most efficient combustion systems in the world.
Did you see the smoke?
On the one side, there’s
talk about CO2 and global warming. On the other, there’s the recurring
debate about soot, which, along with harmless water vapour, is contained
in the smoke emitted from a stove. Are soot particles harmful to
health? Under what conditions? If so, at what quantity does it become a
problem? Whatever the case, we should use our stoves so that no smoke
comes out the chimney. Even if the smoke isn’t harmful, it can smell and
be unnecessarily unpleasant for our neighbours.
There is still uncertainty
surrounding the answers. So, it is precisely for this reason that we
have decided to put every effort into the development of our stoves. If
there’s one thing we won’t under any circumstances take any chances with
it’s our customers’ health. The demonstrable result is that the
emission of particles from a modern Morsø stove has been reduced to an
absolute minimum through refined combustion technology and advanced
purification systems.
The fact that the quantity of particles emitted depends very much on how you use your stove is a completely different matter.
Safety is standard
Morsø’s wood-burning stoves
meet some of the strictest environmental standards in the world. This
mainly applies to Norwegian Standard NS 3058/3059, which sets out
stringent requirements on minimising particle emissions. To highlight
our environmental focus, the majority of Morsø’s stoves are, today, also
certified to the Nordic Swan Eco-label. This not only focuses on
minimising the stove’s impact on the environment when in operation, it
also focuses on the impact on the environment caused by the actual
production and choice of packaging etc.
 Our range of our stoves are approved in the
US by EPA
