Welcome<br />
to Morsø<br />
A Morsø stove is more than just an excellent source of<br />
heat – it is an essential part of your home, a reliable piece<br />
of furniture, a warm and faithful appliance that warms<br />
you through cold winters for years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> essence of a Morsø stove is cast iron, the unbeatable<br />
champion of stove-making materials. This solid raw<br />
material is matchless and the impeccable quality of every<br />
Morsø stove is testament to that. <strong>The</strong> firebox of every<br />
Morsø stove is always built with cast iron.<br />
All Morsø products pay homage to Scandinavian design<br />
with their simplicity and elegance. Morsø has always<br />
chosen world-renowned designers to create stoves that<br />
are timeless in their design and can conform to any living<br />
space, regardless of its style.<br />

choosing the<br />
right <strong>Stove</strong><br />
A stove is a long-term investment, and when you make the decision to buy a<br />
stove it is important that you get a stove that is made with the best materials,<br />
has impeccable construction, and is ideal for your needs.<br />
6<br />
Morsø is one of the leading stove companies in the world,<br />
and since 85 has been manufacturing superior quality<br />
stoves that can be used with wood or coal. All Morsø<br />
stoves are EPA-certified guaranteeing that they comply<br />
with all the strict safety and environmental standards<br />
imposed by the United States Environmental Protection<br />
Agency.<br />
tHE OPtIMAL StOVE<br />
When choosing a stove it is important to look beyond<br />
design to make an informed decision.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are two types of stoves, convection and radiant, and<br />
Morsø makes both kinds. A convection stove allows air<br />
to circulate within the room and is thus able to distribute<br />
warm air quickly, even into the pesky corners. With a radiant<br />
stove heat is concentrated around the stove and hence it<br />
takes time for the heat to be distributed around the room.<br />
It is vital to assess your needs carefully when choosing a<br />
stove. If your stove is too big for your heating needs you<br />
may have to reduce air supply to the stove to prevent your<br />
living space from becoming too hot. Reduced air supply<br />
could cause less efficient combustion, more soot in the<br />
stove and chimney, resulting in poor utilization of the<br />
stove and the fuel.<br />
SOME QuEStIOnS tO AnSWEr<br />
BEFOrE cHOOSInG A StOVE:<br />
• How many square feet do you need to heat? This information<br />
makes it easy for you to identity the stoves that<br />
are well-suited for your heating requirements. Please<br />
find a list of approximate square feet each Morsø stove<br />
can heat, along with information about the stoves on<br />
page .<br />
• Will the stove be used in a vacation home, cabin or in<br />
your primary residence? Smaller Morsø stoves are often<br />
suitable for small vacation homes and cabins, while<br />
individual needs determine the optimal stove heating<br />
capacity for your primary residence.<br />
• Will the stove be used as a primary heating source or<br />
as an additional heating source to heat up a small part<br />
of the home? How well is your home insulated? This<br />
information helps you determine the following features<br />
of the ideal stove based on your heating requirement<br />
and the insulation of your home: heating capacity,<br />
model, and convection or radiant.<br />
cHOIcE OF MAtErIAL<br />
Morsø uses cast iron for the entire firebox and not just a<br />
few critical spots for protection of other materials. <strong>Cast</strong><br />
iron is one of the best-suited materials for stoves due to the<br />
following reasons:<br />
• <strong>Cast</strong> iron does not distort during use. This means that<br />
regardless of how many times you fire it up the integrity<br />
of your stove is maintained, and the cast iron door<br />
of your stove closes tightly every time.<br />
• <strong>The</strong>re is no danger of cast iron being burnt through.<br />
• <strong>Cast</strong> iron is especially suitable for stoves, because it<br />
retains heat longer, and emanates even and pleasant<br />
warmth.<br />
<strong>Stove</strong>s made out of steel are quick to warm up, but do not<br />
retain heat like cast iron.<br />
In Scandinavia, soapstone has been used for centuries to<br />
construct stoves, as soapstone is naturally capable of
PILOt AIr<br />
When using coal the air supply needs<br />
to come from below through the grate.<br />
retaining heat, and emitting it, even after the fire in the stove has<br />
died out. Morsø uses beautiful and efficient Scandinavian soapstone<br />
to enhance the decorative aspects of some of its stoves.<br />
InStALLAtIOn rEGuLAtIOnS<br />
All stoves must be installed in accordance with local building<br />
regulations and codes. Your technical consultant, builder and/or<br />
you are responsible for ensuring all regulations are complied with.<br />
It is therefore a good idea to meet with local building or fire<br />
department officials regarding restrictions and installation<br />
inspection requirements in your area.<br />
WHY cHOOSE A MOrSØ StOVE?<br />
PrE-HEAtEd PrIMArY<br />
And SEcOndArY AIr<br />
Every Morsø stove is a testament to more than 50 years of<br />
stove-making experience, and Morsø as a company has always<br />
been in the forefront of new stove development. <strong>The</strong>re is a Morsø<br />
to suit every desire, and we promise that you can find, from our<br />
extensive range of stoves, the one that suits your needs on design,<br />
heating capacity and type.<br />
cOnVEctIOn PrIncIPLE<br />
Convection stoves give a more uniform and pleasant<br />
heat that also flows to adjoining rooms. Convection<br />
stoves from Morsø have an extra side panel attached<br />
to the outside of the firebox, which creates an air<br />
channel between the two surfaces. Convection stoves<br />
function by transferring heat from the firebox to the<br />
air within these channels. As the hot air rises, cold<br />
air is pulled into the chamber at a low level, which<br />
results in a rapid circulation of air within the room.<br />
SEcOndArY<br />
AIr<br />
When using firewood as fuel, the air supply to the fuel needs to enter the firebox above the fuel<br />
bed in the form of both primary and secondary air supply. <strong>The</strong> primary air will burn the gases<br />
close to the fuel supply and the secondary air will burn the gases that rise off the fuel bed and are<br />
not consumed in primary combustion. This provides the most efficient combustion.<br />
Morsø stoves stand apart and ahead of most other stoves.<br />
A few of the reasons for this are:<br />
• Morsø offers an unsurpassed 0-year warranty on all<br />
cast iron parts according to Morsø limited warranty.<br />
• All Morsø stoves, convection and radiant, are manufactured<br />
with cast iron, which emits pleasant and even warmth.<br />
• All “wear and tear” stove parts are easily replaceable making<br />
maintenance on Morsø stoves comparatively effortless.<br />
In addition, Morsø guarantees that a supply of spare parts will<br />
be available for at least 0 years after a model is discontinued.<br />
• Morsø has worked closely with stove dealers since 85 , and<br />
uses stove schools and ongoing product information seminars to<br />
educate dealers, so that they can provide their customers with<br />
the best possible advice on purchase, delivery and installation<br />
of Morsø stoves.<br />
• Every Morsø stove is assembled by hand – a craft that has been<br />
honed by dedicated Morsø stove builders over the years.<br />
• Morsø stoves have a simple and timeless design that suits all<br />
homes and any kind of interior design.<br />
• With more than 50 years of experience with cast iron and<br />
combustion, Morsø is one of the leading experts in the field<br />
of wood-burning stoves.
the <strong>Original</strong><br />
cast <strong>Iron</strong> <strong>Stove</strong><br />
8<br />
N.A. Christensen was a dynamic man with the vision and the courage to start<br />
his own iron foundry in Nykøbing Mors, Denmark a century and a half ago.<br />
Armed with just a business degree and three years of experience working in the<br />
finance department of an iron foundry in the nearby city of Thisted,<br />
Christensen built the iron foundry that made the first Morsø cast iron stove.<br />
<strong>The</strong> iron foundry envisioned and started by N. A. Christensen<br />
in 85 had just five employees in the beginning and could<br />
manufacture and supply anything that could be made with<br />
cast iron – window frames, tombstones, cooking stoves,<br />
pots and pans. While the raw materials, iron, coal and<br />
casting sand were imported from England, Germany and<br />
Sweden, the foundry also purchased used iron to melt and<br />
reuse.<br />
Christensen had the acumen to make profitable business<br />
deals, the innate ability for creative ideas, and a knack for<br />
finding talented workers, and he exploited his skills to<br />
make Morsø Jernstøberi a great success. By the end of the<br />
9 th century Morsø cast iron goods were widely seen across<br />
Denmark, and some of the most popular products were cooking<br />
stoves and wood-burning stoves that replaced the<br />
popular old-fashioned jamb stoves.<br />
BY APOIntMEnt tO<br />
tHE rOYAL dAnISH cOurt<br />
Just fifty years after N.A. Christensen opened the doors<br />
of his iron foundry, Morsø Jernstøberi had become one<br />
of the larger companies in Denmark with more than 50<br />
employees and was considered a specialist in heating and<br />
cooking products. Morsø installed stoves in about ,000<br />
churches throughout Denmark from 890 onward, as well<br />
as supplied stoves to many Danish schools. Morsø even<br />
developed a special stove, Etatsovnen or Government<br />
Department <strong>Stove</strong>, to suit the needs of several government<br />
institutions such as Danish Mail, Danish Customs, Danish<br />
Railways and the Danish Ministries. At the royal palace,<br />
the Amalienborg <strong>Cast</strong>le, Morsø installed empire-style<br />
stoves, and also supplied cast iron stoves for several other<br />
royal homes. In 9 5, Morsø Jernstøberi was awarded<br />
the prestigious designation, Appointment to the Royal<br />
Danish Court, an honor currently bestowed upon only 00<br />
companies and/or individuals.<br />
cOnVEctIOn PrIncIPLE<br />
At the dawn of the new century, Morsø developed, along<br />
with some other iron foundries of the time, a new and<br />
revolutionary method for fast and efficient distribution of<br />
hot air. <strong>The</strong> side plates installed on the firebox of the stove<br />
form air channels where cold air from the floor is pulled in,<br />
heated, and then blown out off the top. One of the earliest<br />
examples of a Morsø stove with convection is the beautiful<br />
Morsø Peacock stove.<br />
cHALLEnGInG tIMES<br />
During the 950s and 960s the advent and advancement<br />
of central heating systems made the classic stove all but<br />
obsolete. This was a critical time for both development and<br />
demand of Morsø stoves, and Morsø got through this time<br />
with aplomb. In the early 990s Morsø went through yet<br />
another challenging period when iron foundries throughout<br />
Europe were facing difficulty. Once again the storm<br />
was weathered – but Morsø did not merely survive, it got<br />
through a difficult time with success and on track for the<br />
new millennium.<br />

cASt IrOn StOVE<br />
Since the original cast iron stove was made at the Morsø<br />
Jernstøberi more than 55 years ago, Morsø has become<br />
one of the leading providers of cast iron stoves around the<br />
world. From Europe to Africa, North America to Australia<br />
and Japan, today, Morsø cast iron stoves are sold in over<br />
25 countries.

cHIMnEY drAFt<br />
<strong>The</strong> chimney is really your stove’s engine and the<br />
chimney draft is one of the most important<br />
factors for a well-functioning stove.<br />
You have a good chimney draft when:<br />
• <strong>The</strong>re is a big temperature difference between the<br />
chimney air and the outside air<br />
• <strong>The</strong> weather is clear<br />
• <strong>The</strong> chimney is of the correct height<br />
You have a reduced draft when:<br />
• <strong>The</strong> chimney does not have the proper height<br />
• <strong>The</strong> chimney is screened or covered with trees<br />
causing return smoke into the chimney<br />
• <strong>The</strong> temperature difference is too small, for example this<br />
can happen when the chimney is poorly insulated<br />
• <strong>The</strong> outside air temperature is too high<br />
• <strong>The</strong>re is no wind<br />
• <strong>The</strong> chimney is not tight<br />
• <strong>The</strong> air supply reduced too much<br />
In addition to leaks in chimney pipes, you should be aware<br />
of potential leaks in the doors, cleanout doors, and pipe<br />
connectors of your stove.<br />

good idea to obtain a Morsø moisture meter to determine<br />
whether your wood has the correct moisture content. <strong>The</strong><br />
logs should be cut in the length appropriate for your stove,<br />
split, and stacked in a dry place with a few inches all around<br />
the stack, so it can dry naturally. As a rule firewood should<br />
sit for -2 years after being cut down. Please see user<br />
instructions for a clear guide to load quantities and<br />
expected burn times<br />
dIFFErEnt tYPES OF FIrEWOOd<br />
Morsø stoves are all well suited for firewood and woodbriquettes.<br />
If you use wood briquettes, you must make sure<br />
that they are made from pure wood pulp, without any type<br />
of treated wood. Softwood such as pine, larch, and spruce,<br />
and hardwood such as oak and cherry, burn with a strong<br />
crackle and throw sparks and are best burned in closed<br />
wood stoves. Hardwood such as beech, maple, elm, ash<br />
and birch burn with a strong and calm flame and are<br />
therefore suitable for both wood stoves and open fireplaces.<br />
Light firewood types such as spruce and pine have less<br />
heating capacity than hardwoods, such as oak and beech.<br />
Spruce and pine are perfect for the purposes of kindling as<br />
they are easy to split into small pieces and burn for a<br />
shorter period of time compared to heavy firewood.<br />
Using wood to heat your home is economical and<br />
environmentally sound. Wood is one of the few renewable<br />
energy sources, and with today’s clean burning stove<br />
technology, does not pollute the air you breathe.

Morsø and the<br />
environment<br />
8<br />
Fire has been harnessed by mankind for thousands of years and to this day<br />
we still have that primeval instinct to gather around the fire. But much has<br />
changed since the open fires of our ancestors. We are now able to control<br />
this heat, cleanly and efficiently with a modern Morsø wood stove.<br />
In today’s world, a Morsø stove provides the user with one<br />
of the most advanced wood burning combustion systems<br />
around; and when used properly, it is amongst the most<br />
environmentally friendly heating solutions in the world.<br />
When using a Morsø wood-burning stove you are making<br />
a positive fuel choice, a choice that helps us to protect the<br />
very planet on which we live. Wood is a plentiful, renewable,<br />
non-fossil natural product and when used as fuel it is<br />
in effect ‘carbon-neutral’ meaning that the CO2 released<br />
when burning is being absorbed by the tree that has been<br />
replanted; in fact the same level of CO2 would have been<br />
emitted by a tree that had been left to rot naturally on the<br />
forest floor.<br />
In Denmark, wood-burning accounts for roughly 5% of<br />
the total annual domestic space heating. In real terms this<br />
means that wood, a natural renewable energy, has replaced<br />
an annual consumption of over 80,000 tons of oil;<br />
roughly converted to an annual reduction of .5 million<br />
tons in CO2 emissions. Under the Kyoto Protocol, Denmark<br />
and many other countries has undertaken to greatly<br />
reduce its CO2 emissions; it is already over 0% towards<br />
its goal. Fact; burning wood in a Morsø stove helps to<br />
reduce CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect.<br />
MOrSØ And StAndArdS<br />
NORDIC ENVIRONMENT LABEL<br />
Morsø produces some of the most energy efficient, clean<br />
burning stoves in the world. Our stoves meet; even surpass<br />
the strictest environmental standards in the world, including<br />
EPA and Norwegian Standard NS 058/ 059 for the<br />
lowest particulate emissions<br />
Morsø’s commitment for a cleaner environment is further<br />
recognised. In 2007 almost the entire Morsø product line<br />
in Europe was certify by the Nordic Swan Eco-label, a<br />
public environmental certification that sets requirements<br />
not only for low particle emissions and high efficiency,<br />
but it also recognizes companies that are actively reducing<br />
their ‘environmental footprint’ in terms of production<br />
practices and packaging. In short, having the Nordic Swan<br />
Eco-label shows our continued commitment for a cleaner,<br />
greener planet.<br />

Integrated Design<br />
22<br />
Through the years, the names of renowned architects and<br />
designers have become an indelible part of Morsø stoves.<br />
Creative individuals have used their unique sense of form<br />
and function to give Morsø an international reputation for<br />
vibrant and beautifully designed products.<br />
World-renowned designers such as Kaare Klint, Constantin<br />
Sørensen, Acton Bjørn, Sigvard Bernadotte, Knud<br />
Holscher, Queensbury, Hunt & Levien and Studio Levien<br />
have<br />
designed stoves for Morsø. <strong>The</strong> trend of the times have<br />
determined whether the stoves are flamboyantly designed<br />
with soft sculptural shapes or have a more tight and<br />
minimalist design – but despite the trends and the times,<br />
Morsø stoves are regarded as beautiful, solid classics.<br />
KnuD HolscHer (1930-)<br />
Architect and professor, Knud Holscher has through the<br />
past few decades put his mark on Danish everyday life.<br />
He is the designer behind one of the most successful series<br />
of door handles: d line and products of his creative mind<br />
are also AFA JCDeceaux’s elegant outdoor poster stand,<br />
a bus stop windscreen, as well as a bathroom series<br />
manufactured by Ifö.<br />
Over the years Holscher has designed many famous<br />
buildings: the Danish pavilion at the World Fair in Sevilla,<br />
the National Museum in Bahrain, the Parking House and<br />
Terminal B in the Copenhagen Airport, the University of<br />
Odense, and the Cultural Center in Neumünster, Germany.<br />
sIgvarD BernaDotte (1907-2002)<br />
Prince Sigvard of Sweden was born with a creative mind<br />
and a talent to transform that creativity into something<br />
tangible. He studied art history and political science in<br />
Uppsala, and in 1930 he enrolled at Konst-högskolan, an<br />
art school in Stockholm. In 1934 Prince Sigvard married a<br />
German commoner against his father’s will, for which he<br />
immediately lost the title of Prince. His new name and title<br />
was Count Sigvard Bernadotte of Visborg.<br />
Through almost five decades he designed for Georg Jensen<br />
Silversmith where his simple geometrical design of china<br />
series, bowls, and flatware continue to be very successful<br />
products for the company, Royal Copenhagen.<br />
At the end of the 1940s Sigvard started a partnership with<br />
another designer, Acton Bjørn. <strong>The</strong>y introduced a new<br />
concept, Industrial Design, and among their many recognized<br />
works is the beloved Margrethe Bowl from 1950. In<br />
the early 1960s the duo developed an elegant, enameled<br />
stove and a series of cast iron pots for Morsø Jernstøberi.<br />
Kaare KlInt (1888-1954)<br />
In 1924 the Danish architect Kaare Klint started the Art<br />
Academy’s furniture school and thereby laid the foundation<br />
for a new type of education that influenced a long line<br />
of Danish architects, furniture designers, and furniture<br />
makers through the 20th century. His method was rooted<br />
in function, choice of material and the weight and physical<br />
size of the human body in relation to design. Klint designed<br />
many furniture classics, including the Faaborg Chair<br />
from 1914, the Box Pew from 1936, and the Safari Chair<br />
from 1933.<br />
In 1944, Morsø Jernstøberi launched a special stove designed<br />
by Kaare Klint. <strong>The</strong> stove had a poem by author<br />
and nobel price winner Johannes V Jensen on its side.
HolscHer<br />
<strong>The</strong> d-line series are as useful and modern today<br />
as they were when introduced in 1973.<br />
KlInt<br />
<strong>The</strong> Safari Chair from 1933 is the<br />
essence of Danish design. A simple and<br />
elegant chair made with superior<br />
materials, the Safari Chair is a prime<br />
example of Kaare Klint’s creative mind.<br />
Sigvard Bernadotte and Acton Bjørn designed the Margrethe<br />
bowl in 1950 and named it in honor of the Crown Princess<br />
Margrethe four years later when the Danish constitution<br />
was amended to crown Margrethe as first Crown Princess<br />
of Denmark, who would succeed as Queen of Denmark after<br />
her father, King Fredrick IX passed. <strong>The</strong> Margrethe Bowl<br />
is an example of simple and functional design that has<br />
lasted for over 50 years.

A beautifully designed stove with clean lines, the Morsø 3610<br />
radiant stove is ideal for rooms with cathedral ceilings that<br />
require a radiant heater for effective and efficient heating. <strong>The</strong><br />
primary air-control lever is conveniently located in the front<br />
of the stove, and the double doors with extra-large glass panels<br />
provide an excellent view of the fire. To keep the large panels<br />
clean, primary air is designed to “wash” down across the glass<br />
panes to keep them clean through all phases of the burn cycle.<br />
Installation of the Morsø 3610 is versatile and flexible with a<br />
reversible 6” flue collar, standard rear and bottom heat shields,<br />
and an optional outside air kit. <strong>The</strong> Morsø 3610 also has two<br />

the artists<br />
of Morsø<br />
28<br />
Morsø, the iron foundry and Mors, the island have been<br />
a great source of inspiration for several Danish artists.<br />
<strong>The</strong> massive, robust and elegant stoves have always been<br />
intrinsically Danish and have stimulated the creative minds<br />
of many writers, photographers and painters.<br />
JoHannes v. Jensen (1874-1950)<br />
A great Danish writer, Johannes V. Jensen was the recipient<br />
of the 1944 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his career<br />
that spanned 52 years, Jensen wrote several novels and<br />
poems, and his body of work is of seminal importance to<br />
Danish literature and culture in the 20th century. In 1910<br />
he was awarded the Danish Government Grant, and ten<br />
years later he received an honorary doctorate from the<br />
University of Lund in Sweden.<br />
In 1944 Morsø Jernstøberi launched a special stove designed<br />
by the famous architect, Kaare Klint, and a poem by<br />
Johannes V Jensen adorned the side of the stove.<br />
<strong>The</strong> poem praises Morsø, while it criticizes war.<br />
At Morsø <strong>Iron</strong> Foundry I was baptized<br />
<strong>Cast</strong> for the hearth and not for weapon<br />
Stay out strife, cold and fog<br />
I spread warmth in your house
Jens sMÆruP sØrensen (1946-)<br />
Jens Smærup Sørensen, a resident of the island of Mors, is<br />
amongst the most recognized contemporary authors of<br />
Danish literature. He made his debut as a poet in 1971 and<br />
has over the years developed a unique style that makes his<br />
stories both artful and relevant.<br />
In celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Morsø<br />
Jernstøberi in 2003, Sørensen wrote a book of short stories<br />
about the people and the land that birthed and reared the<br />
iron foundry. Sørensen is the recipient of several literary<br />
awards, including <strong>The</strong> Critic Award (1989) and the Danish<br />
Academy’s Grand Prize (1990), and has also received<br />
acknowledgements from Leo Estvads Foundation (2001)<br />
and Albert Dams Memorial Foundation (2004).<br />
Here Is an eXcerPt FroM ”DeParture 1845”<br />
BY Jens sMÆruP sØrensen:<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were all lying down having a rest when we got there. Our bailiff<br />
came up to the road when he saw us, and that morning, he said, he had<br />
told everyone how things stood, that there would be a new owner now,<br />
and so on.<br />
So I shouldn´t think there´ll be a lot of harvesting going on today, he<br />
said. <strong>The</strong>re´s no one really feels like doing anything, and there´s not a<br />
lot you can say to that!<br />
No, I said. <strong>The</strong>re isn´t..<br />
No, we all need to collect ourselves a bit, don´t we? he said. I suppose<br />
we think we´ve served your father well, and your grandfather for so<br />
many years before him too! Well, a few of the older ones may even<br />
have lent a hand in your great-grandfather´s time! And we think we´ve<br />
served the family as well as we could!<br />
Of that I am sure, I said.<br />
And none of us knows how things will turn out now, he said.<br />
No, I said. None of us knows that!<br />
In the meantime one of the peasants had come forward. He had stood<br />
there for a while just looking at us.<br />
You must be Thorvald then, he now asked me.<br />
No, replied the bailiff. Thorvald has long been over the hills and far<br />
away, no, this is Harald! And this is Ferdinand and young Flora!<br />
Are you going to leave us now, the peasant asked me. And go so far<br />
from here?<br />
Yes, replied the bailiff. As I said to you all, they are going way down<br />
to the south of the country!<br />
I suppose it´s a huge thing then, the peasant asked me, I should imagine<br />
you´re going to have a fair old estate down there, no doubt?<br />
Yes, you can be sure of that, answered the bailiff. Although Dueholm<br />
isn´t too bad either, is it?<br />
I wonder if you won´t come to miss Mors all the same, the peasant<br />
asked me.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bailiff had no answer to that. So I said we´d better be getting on.<br />
Home again.<br />
We turned and went, then stood awhile on the hilltop. I looked at our<br />
farm down there in front of us. And I looked over at Nykøbing, and I<br />
thought that nowhere else in the world could be so beautiful. And I looked<br />
out over the inlet, and I looked at our Dueholm again, the long<br />
white wings. <strong>The</strong> little ones didn´t understand a thing. Nor did I. It was<br />
as if I was just standing there looking at a lovely picture. As if it were<br />
already a memory.<br />

In the artistic circles around Morsø Jernstøberi you also<br />
meet three fascinating and dynamic female artists:<br />
KIrsten KleIn (1945-)<br />
On the island of Mors lives and works one of the greatest<br />
Danish landscape photographers, Kirsten Klein. Klein<br />
uses Mors as a subject and photographs its natural ups and<br />
downs, its depths and heights, as she cultivates her<br />
fascination for birds that live on the island.<br />
In the past years Klein has been credited for photographers<br />
published in two books that have a close connection to the<br />
island of Mors: a beautiful and poetic book about Mors<br />
published by the Tourist Association of Mors, and the<br />
Morsø Jernstøberi 150th Anniversary Book.<br />
Klein received the Department of Culture’s Fotographic<br />
Book Award in 1994, the Thorvald Bindesbøll Award in<br />
1995, and Art Award from the largest Danish newspaper,<br />
Jyllands-Posten, in 2001.<br />
MonIca rItterBanD (1955-)<br />
Monica Ritterband is one of the most popular cultural<br />
icons of Denmark. A successful career journalist, she gave<br />
up journalism for a corporate life when she was offered<br />
the position of Vice President of Information at Carlsberg<br />
A/S, another Danish icon. But today Ritterband will not<br />
be found in a business suit pedaling products for a corporation,<br />
as she gave up corporate life to become an active and<br />
successful artist. Over the past few years, Ritterband has<br />
proven that she posses a true and extraordinarily creative<br />
mind and understands how to express herself, successfully,<br />
through paintings, sculptures, and illustrations. In 2003 she<br />
created the charming and humorous “Musica” design for<br />
the Danish design company, Royal Copenhagen, and in<br />
2004 she created a new universe of design with “Humanerne”<br />
for the world-famous Georg Jensen Damask.<br />
Monica Ritterband is also a poet and was inspired by a<br />
Morsø stove to pen a beautiful and lyrical verse.
to MY WooDBurnIng stove<br />
In my highceilinged lofty tower, hour by hour,<br />
you are presiding<br />
round and sound and special and black<br />
waiting in majestic serenity<br />
for my freezing nose and toes to be back.<br />
You are almost new,<br />
capless you were brought by a muscular man<br />
who puffed and blew.<br />
You came by dolly, you came by van,<br />
and he struggled and staggered about<br />
and was on the verge of an angry shout.<br />
He crowned you with a pipe on top<br />
to send smoke and fumes and good thoughts<br />
all the way up.<br />
No doubt you will be my new great flame,<br />
so say my nose and my toes,<br />
they tell me the same,<br />
maybe the best ever, who knows!<br />
You swathe me in your warmest charms,<br />
no gagging, no nagging, no clinging, no clanging<br />
with long words and arms<br />
and sharp, biting teeth,<br />
you open your soft mouth and swallow everything,<br />
shimmer out a light so mellow<br />
with red and blue and ochre and yellow<br />
that my slippers and my woolly socks<br />
get the elbow and I let my toes tip-toe around<br />
and I am submerged in your crackling sound<br />
while my nose takes in the sweet and spicy smell<br />
of apple and wood,<br />
there is marmalade bubbling on the stove,<br />
and at bedtime beech and oak is your food<br />
and - I confess - a trifle of fir<br />
that turns your crackle into a sputter<br />
rather like a child that spits<br />
his codliver-oil into the gutter.<br />
I am in my own room,<br />
my own reservation,<br />
indeed, I have drawn into my private station.<br />
Inside<br />
from corner to corner there is a blanket,<br />
invisible you know,<br />
and outside<br />
the moon is biding her time to turn the tide<br />
from high to low,<br />
my defences are down<br />
and my duty has come to an end,<br />
I am off, and so is my mask,<br />
but you are on, my friend.<br />
I am no longer the drudge of the day,<br />
no longer the hilarious clown in oversized clogs.<br />
I have no other task<br />
than being at home, finally alone<br />
with my woodburning stove<br />
full of logs.<br />
sIssle Honoré (1962-)<br />
One of the most well-known Danish photographers, Sissle<br />
Honoré was the driving force behind the creative and<br />
interesting, After Closing Time (1995), a book about the<br />
old Morsø <strong>Iron</strong> Foundry. Honoré earned a degree in<br />
journalism in Denmark after which she studied photography<br />
at the University of Westminster in London, where she<br />
received a bachelor’s degree in arts. For the past eighteen<br />
years, Honoré has lived and worked in London, and is a<br />
sought-after freelance photographer for both Danish and<br />
British media.<br />
Since the early 1980s, Honoré has also been a popular and<br />
preferred partner for musicians. She explored the artistic<br />
side of photography with great success, and in 1997 five<br />
of her photographs were included in the Royal Danish<br />
Library’s collection.<br />
Honoré was invited by Morsø to take a series of photographs<br />
that now adorn the walls of Morsø office buildings.<br />
Honoré had been chosen to take photographs of the Royal<br />
Botanic Gardens, Kew’s calendar (2003), and has now<br />
started a partnership with Gallery NB in Roskilde, Denmark<br />
(2004).<br />

Good Advice<br />
for You<br />
A Morsø stove is more than just a source of heat – it is an<br />
integral part of your living space, and an indelible asset to your<br />
home’s interior design.<br />
42<br />
A Morsø stove can last for decades, provided it is<br />
maintained properly. Maintenance includes some simple<br />
servicing of the stove before every firing session and some<br />
basic maintenance for winter use.<br />
• It is important to ensure that the door of the stove is shut<br />
tight, which means that the sealing rope is not frayed<br />
and is in good condition. If the sealing rope is not intact<br />
it will lead to fake draft entering the firebox causing less<br />
efficient combustion that is difficult to control.<br />
• Always check the fireproof bricks in the firebox. It is<br />
okay for the bricks to be cracked but if they have started<br />
to crumble, they must be replaced. Because if the bricks<br />
do not hold their original shape, the insulation in the<br />
firebox is reduced, and the combustion temperature<br />
becomes too low for efficient combustion.<br />
• If you feel your stove needs a “face lift” to regain its<br />
former beauty, it can be easily achieved by applying<br />
some paint. Morsø markets a series of maintenance<br />
products such as heat-resistant, rust-proof paint and<br />
stove polish.<br />
• If you are having trouble keeping the glass in the door<br />
clean and free of soot, there are some guidelines you can<br />
follow. First, ensure that the firewood is dry, because<br />
burning of damp wood is one cause of soot on the glass<br />
and in the chimney. Another important thing to consider<br />
is the size of the logs. Firewood must be split so that the<br />
logs are not too large.<br />
Ultimately, it is important to operate the air supply<br />
correctly. If there is too little air the gasses from the<br />
wood are not burnt and lie on the glass as soot. Lack of<br />
air can also cause the combustion temperature to be too<br />
low, which results in soot in both the stove and chimney.<br />
If you believe the combustion temperature is too low,<br />
you can check it by using a Morsø Flue Gas <strong>The</strong>rmometer.<br />
When placed on the flue right above the stove, the<br />
temperature should be between 482 F and 572 F degrees<br />
to achieve ideal combustion.<br />
If you already have soot on the glass, you can just clean it<br />
with the Morsø Glass Cleaner.
A Solid<br />
Old-Fashioned Craft<br />
44<br />
Innumerable changes have taken place since the first cast<br />
iron molds were filled at the iron foundry in Nykøbing,<br />
Mors in 1853. But one thing still remains unchanged, each<br />
Morsø stove is hand built by skilled craftsmen.<br />
FrOM 1853 tO 1957<br />
Mankind has used technique of melting and casting iron<br />
for over 6000 years; and the basic principles continue to be<br />
used today when producing a modern Morsø stove.<br />
Essentially, a wooden impression (pattern) of a part is<br />
pressed into a damp sand mold; raw or scrap iron and/or<br />
other metals are melted down in vast melting pots and<br />
when the metal has become liquid (molten) it is poured<br />
by skilled foundry men into the pre-formed sand molds.<br />
With a loud hissing, steam is driven from the damp sand<br />
molds and the liquid metal starts to cool and solidify. Once<br />
the metal has become solid, the sand mold is knocked<br />
away leaving only the newly cast part. <strong>The</strong>reafter, the part<br />
is taken away for further preparation, prior to painting,<br />
enameling or assembly.<br />
In the early days Morsø Jernstøberi (iron foundry) made<br />
cast iron parts for farm equipment, household tools, cooking<br />
ranges and of course wood burning stoves. Demand<br />
for these products was very high and by the early 20th<br />
Century the workforce had grown to 350 employees and<br />
the production facility expanded across more than 4 acres<br />
of the downtown area of Nykøbing. In those days the hardworking<br />
craftsmen and foundry workers annually transformed<br />
over 7,500 tons of iron into useful Morsø products.<br />
By the end of first half of the Century Morsø had become<br />
recognized as one of the leading cast iron stove manufacturers.<br />
Older stove designs began to be up-dated and with<br />
the emergence of newly invented combustion techniques;<br />
customized stoves began to appear for churches, schools<br />
and various governmental departments. Morsø was not<br />
only entering a new era for wood burning stoves, it was<br />
leading the way.<br />
MOdern tIMeS<br />
Continuing its tradition of cast iron stove manufacture; in<br />
1957 Morsø embraced the latest technologies to streamline<br />
its production process and become more efficient.<br />
Designers replaced wood for the pattern-making and<br />
adopted modern materials like aluminum or plastic; these<br />
new materials made the patterns stronger, more durable<br />
and even more accurate. <strong>Cast</strong>ing techniques were refined<br />
so that the pouring temperature of the molten iron could be<br />
regulated; techniques that are used to this day, resulting in<br />
our world-famous thin-wall castings; free from blemishes<br />
or imperfections and not just on the surfaces but through<br />
the whole thickness of the metal itself.<br />
Today our 150 year heritage continues; our stoves are<br />
made from 98% recycled material and each stove is built<br />
by highly skilled crafts people; men and women proud of<br />
their craft and who each offer a superior quality assurance<br />
to you, our customer.
Mini<br />
Morsø<br />
More than 100 years ago Morsø Jernstøberi produced its first<br />
miniature cast iron cooking range. It was originally made as<br />
a salesman’s sample, something practical and symbolic, and<br />
much better than a photograph that salesmen could take along<br />
with them as they went door to door to sell Morsø products.<br />
<strong>The</strong> miniature cast iron cooking range was inspired by the<br />
Morsø quick-heating cast iron cooking range made in the<br />
1900s. <strong>The</strong> miniature cooking range had the same detailed<br />
craftsmanship as the original, and was a perfect miniature<br />
rendition of it. Production of the miniature cooking range<br />
was stopped in the early 1990s, but has now begun again.<br />
In 2003, Morsø introduced an old novelty, the miniature<br />
or doll’s cast iron cooking range that was faithful to its<br />
predecessor made almost a century ago. Along with the<br />
doll’s cooking range, comes a series of miniature cast iron<br />
kitchen utensils, which include four pots and one pan. <strong>The</strong><br />
miniature cooking range is now being sold as a high-quality<br />
toy for children. It weighs about 15 lbs, is 6.5” high, 10”<br />
wide and 9” deep. A beautiful and elegant little cooking<br />
range, it is the ultimate dream for every little girl.<br />
tHree dAnISH<br />
PrInCeSSeS<br />
<strong>The</strong> cooking range has over<br />
time become a sought-after<br />
subject for toy makers.<br />
In 1952, the Danish royal<br />
family visited the island of<br />
Mors and three young girls<br />
were lucky to be presented<br />

We are pleased to introduce a new miniature stove, this<br />
time one from the popular 6100 series. <strong>The</strong> Morsø 6100<br />

<strong>The</strong> door can be opened just as with the full-sized stoves,<br />
and with a tea light in the stove, this minimalist little classic<br />

An Honorable<br />
designation<br />
Morsø Jernstøberi was bestowed with the designation<br />
“Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court” in 1915, and in<br />
1969, the designation was changed to “By Appointment<br />
to the Royal Danish Court”.<br />
At the beginning of the 19th century the Danish royal<br />
family started using the designation, “Purveyor to the<br />
Royal Danish Court” to recognize businesses that catered<br />
to the royal household. A hundred years later in 1904 the<br />
designation “By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court”<br />
was awarded for the first time. <strong>The</strong> distinction between<br />
the two designations was that the “Purveyor to the Royal<br />
Danish Court” is given to companies and/or individuals<br />
that have a direct business relationship with the King<br />
or Queen, while “By Appointment to the Royal Danish<br />
Court” is awarded to companies that supply products<br />
and/or services to the royal household.<br />
wHO IS AwArded<br />
To be awarded these honorable designations it is necessary<br />
for the company or individual to have had a regular<br />
business relationship, lasting 10 years or more, with the<br />
Royal Danish Court. It is also required that the company<br />
is well established, financially sound, well managed, and<br />
well respected.<br />
A royal designation can not be purchased. A company or<br />
individual seeking such a designation must apply for it<br />
and after a thorough evaluation the royal family personally<br />
awards the designation. <strong>The</strong> designations are awarded each<br />
year on Her Majesty the Queen’s birthday.<br />
deSIGnAtIOn HOLder<br />
It is tradition that the “By Appointment to the Royal<br />
Danish Court” designation is made to one specific<br />
individual in the company, the designation holder. It is<br />
customary for the designation to stand as long as the<br />
company meets all the royal requirements, and if the<br />
designation holder dies or leaves the company, or if the<br />
company changes ownership, the company must apply for<br />
a renewal of the designation.<br />
OnLY FOr tHe BeSt<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are only ten remaining monarchies in Europe, and<br />
therefore very few European companies are awarded royal<br />
designations, making them very elusive and prestigious.<br />
Currently, only 100 companies and/or individuals have the<br />
privilege of using either Danish royal designation:<br />
“Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court” or “By Appointment<br />
to the Royal Danish Court.”<br />
PUrveYOr tO tHe rOYAL<br />
dAnISH COUrt<br />
King Christian X was so impressed with the high-quality<br />
products from Morsø used in the royal household, that<br />
he awarded the company the prestigious “Purveyor to the<br />
Royal Danish Court” designation in 1915.<br />
tHe deSIGnAtIOn wAS CHAnGed<br />
Since the early 1950s the designation “Purveyor to the<br />
Royal Danish Court” has frequently been changed to<br />
“By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court,” when it was<br />
time for the designation to be renewed. <strong>The</strong>re have been<br />
cases where the company has grown so large that there<br />
is no personal contact with the royal family even though<br />
the company continues to deliver products to the royal<br />
household. This was the case with Morsø Jernstøberi and<br />
it was in spring 1969 that King Christian IX changed the<br />
company’s royal designation to “By Appointment to the<br />
Royal Danish Court.”<br />

the danish<br />
Foundry Museum<br />
52<br />
<strong>The</strong> old foundry stands in the center of Nykøbing. After having<br />
been neglected for a number of years, the buildings have undergone<br />
an extensive restoration and subsequently turned into a museum,<br />
the Danish Foundry Museum.<br />
Here, in the old foundry shops, you may relive the 150year<br />
long history of Morsø Jernstøberi through pictures,<br />
original tools worn by the use of many hands, and wellpreserved<br />
old products.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exhibition, the largest of its kind in Denmark, shows<br />
an impressive selection of the many products produced at<br />
Morsø Jernstøberi through time: tile stoves, oven ranges,<br />
pots and pans. However, not only does the exhibition show<br />
these durable cast iron products; the visitors are also told<br />
the fascinating history of the many people who worked<br />
in the factory, in the production shops and in the offices<br />
generation after generation.
the northernmost Morsø<br />
<strong>Stove</strong> in the world<br />
In the northern part of East Greenland, far from the coast<br />
and the settlements stands a small hunter cabin. This cabin,<br />
named ”Aalborghus”, is primarily used by native hunters<br />
who will go there with their dogsleds to seek shelter from<br />
the freezing cold and snowstorms. In addition, the Sirius<br />
Patrol makes frequent use of this facility – especially the<br />
fine heat the cabin offers.<br />
Until a few years ago, the cabin was equipped with an<br />
old, traditional Morsø cast iron kitchen stove. Today, this<br />
has been replaced by quite a special stove that Morsø<br />
has constructed specially for ”Aalborghus”. In addition<br />
to supplying the lifesaving heating, the new stove serves<br />
as a cooking stove so that food may be cooked and water<br />
boiled.<br />
<strong>The</strong> oven was delivered in Denmark, and the Sirius Patrol<br />
undertook its transportation and installed it in the cabin.<br />
On the wall behind the stove, you can make out a choice<br />
brass plate with an inscription saying that the stove was<br />
donated by Morsø Jernstøberi. Notice the matches on the<br />
table to the left of the oven. <strong>The</strong>y are there, ready for use,<br />
so you don’t have to fumble for matches with your fingers<br />
frozen stiff.<br />
