of furniture, a warm and faithful appliance that warms 

you through cold winters for years. 

The essence of a Morsø stove is cast iron, the unbeatable 

champion of stove-making materials. This solid raw 

material is matchless and the impeccable quality of every 

Morsø stove is testament to that. The firebox of every 

Morsø stove is always built with cast iron. 

All Morsø products pay homage to Scandinavian design 

with their simplicity and elegance. Morsø has always 

chosen world-renowned designers to create stoves that 

are timeless in their design and can conform to any living 

space, regardless of its style. 

Morsø is proud to present Morsø Magazine 2008 – which 

is a thorough representation of all Morsø stoves and an 

extensive collection of Morsø accessories. The magazine 

is also a story book of sorts that tells the story about those 

who have set their mark on Morsø and its products over the 

years, and a how-to guide that helps you choose the right 

stove for your home and the right firewood for your stove. 

Morsø has journeyed from being a small iron foundry 55 

years ago to one of the most respected stove manufacturers 

today, and with this magazine we welcome you to savor 

our history, familiarize yourself with our present, and get 

excited about our plans for the future.

choosing the 

right Stove 

A stove is a long-term investment, and when you make the decision to buy a 

stove it is important that you get a stove that is made with the best materials, 

has impeccable construction, and is ideal for your needs. 

6 

Morsø is one of the leading stove companies in the world, 

and since 85 has been manufacturing superior quality 

stoves that can be used with wood or coal. All Morsø 

stoves are EPA-certified guaranteeing that they comply 

with all the strict safety and environmental standards 

imposed by the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

tHE OPtIMAL StOVE 

When choosing a stove it is important to look beyond 

design to make an informed decision. 

There are two types of stoves, convection and radiant, and 

Morsø makes both kinds. A convection stove allows air 

to circulate within the room and is thus able to distribute 

warm air quickly, even into the pesky corners. With a radiant 

stove heat is concentrated around the stove and hence it 

takes time for the heat to be distributed around the room. 

It is vital to assess your needs carefully when choosing a 

stove. If your stove is too big for your heating needs you 

may have to reduce air supply to the stove to prevent your 

living space from becoming too hot. Reduced air supply 

could cause less efficient combustion, more soot in the 

stove and chimney, resulting in poor utilization of the 

stove and the fuel. 

SOME QuEStIOnS tO AnSWEr 

BEFOrE cHOOSInG A StOVE: 

• How many square feet do you need to heat? This information 

makes it easy for you to identity the stoves that 

are well-suited for your heating requirements. Please 

find a list of approximate square feet each Morsø stove 

can heat, along with information about the stoves on 

page . 

• Will the stove be used in a vacation home, cabin or in 

your primary residence? Smaller Morsø stoves are often 

suitable for small vacation homes and cabins, while 

individual needs determine the optimal stove heating 

capacity for your primary residence. 

• Will the stove be used as a primary heating source or 

as an additional heating source to heat up a small part 

of the home? How well is your home insulated? This 

information helps you determine the following features 

of the ideal stove based on your heating requirement 

and the insulation of your home: heating capacity, 

model, and convection or radiant. 

cHOIcE OF MAtErIAL 

Morsø uses cast iron for the entire firebox and not just a 

few critical spots for protection of other materials. Cast 

iron is one of the best-suited materials for stoves due to the 

following reasons: 

• Cast iron does not distort during use. This means that 

regardless of how many times you fire it up the integrity 

of your stove is maintained, and the cast iron door 

of your stove closes tightly every time. 

• There is no danger of cast iron being burnt through. 

• Cast iron is especially suitable for stoves, because it 

retains heat longer, and emanates even and pleasant 

warmth. 

Stoves made out of steel are quick to warm up, but do not 

retain heat like cast iron. 

In Scandinavia, soapstone has been used for centuries to 

construct stoves, as soapstone is naturally capable of

PILOt AIr 

When using coal the air supply needs 

to come from below through the grate. 

retaining heat, and emitting it, even after the fire in the stove has 

died out. Morsø uses beautiful and efficient Scandinavian soapstone 

to enhance the decorative aspects of some of its stoves. 

InStALLAtIOn rEGuLAtIOnS 

All stoves must be installed in accordance with local building 

regulations and codes. Your technical consultant, builder and/or 

you are responsible for ensuring all regulations are complied with. 

It is therefore a good idea to meet with local building or fire 

department officials regarding restrictions and installation 

inspection requirements in your area. 

WHY cHOOSE A MOrSØ StOVE? 

PrE-HEAtEd PrIMArY 

And SEcOndArY AIr 

Every Morsø stove is a testament to more than 50 years of 

stove-making experience, and Morsø as a company has always 

been in the forefront of new stove development. There is a Morsø 

to suit every desire, and we promise that you can find, from our 

extensive range of stoves, the one that suits your needs on design, 

heating capacity and type. 

cOnVEctIOn PrIncIPLE 

Convection stoves give a more uniform and pleasant 

heat that also flows to adjoining rooms. Convection 

stoves from Morsø have an extra side panel attached 

to the outside of the firebox, which creates an air 

channel between the two surfaces. Convection stoves 

function by transferring heat from the firebox to the 

air within these channels. As the hot air rises, cold 

air is pulled into the chamber at a low level, which 

results in a rapid circulation of air within the room. 

SEcOndArY 

AIr 

When using firewood as fuel, the air supply to the fuel needs to enter the firebox above the fuel 

bed in the form of both primary and secondary air supply. The primary air will burn the gases 

close to the fuel supply and the secondary air will burn the gases that rise off the fuel bed and are 

not consumed in primary combustion. This provides the most efficient combustion. 

Morsø stoves stand apart and ahead of most other stoves. 

A few of the reasons for this are: 

• Morsø offers an unsurpassed 0-year warranty on all 

cast iron parts according to Morsø limited warranty. 

• All Morsø stoves, convection and radiant, are manufactured 

with cast iron, which emits pleasant and even warmth. 

• All “wear and tear” stove parts are easily replaceable making 

maintenance on Morsø stoves comparatively effortless. 

In addition, Morsø guarantees that a supply of spare parts will 

be available for at least 0 years after a model is discontinued. 

• Morsø has worked closely with stove dealers since 85 , and 

uses stove schools and ongoing product information seminars to 

educate dealers, so that they can provide their customers with 

the best possible advice on purchase, delivery and installation 

of Morsø stoves. 

• Every Morsø stove is assembled by hand – a craft that has been 

honed by dedicated Morsø stove builders over the years. 

• Morsø stoves have a simple and timeless design that suits all 

homes and any kind of interior design. 

• With more than 50 years of experience with cast iron and 

combustion, Morsø is one of the leading experts in the field 

of wood-burning stoves.

cast Iron Stove

N.A. Christensen was a dynamic man with the vision and the courage to start 

his own iron foundry in Nykøbing Mors, Denmark a century and a half ago. 

Armed with just a business degree and three years of experience working in the 

finance department of an iron foundry in the nearby city of Thisted, 

Christensen built the iron foundry that made the first Morsø cast iron stove. 

The iron foundry envisioned and started by N. A. Christensen 

in 85 had just five employees in the beginning and could 

manufacture and supply anything that could be made with 

cast iron – window frames, tombstones, cooking stoves, 

pots and pans. While the raw materials, iron, coal and 

casting sand were imported from England, Germany and 

Sweden, the foundry also purchased used iron to melt and 

reuse. 

Christensen had the acumen to make profitable business 

deals, the innate ability for creative ideas, and a knack for 

finding talented workers, and he exploited his skills to 

make Morsø Jernstøberi a great success. By the end of the 

9 th century Morsø cast iron goods were widely seen across 

Denmark, and some of the most popular products were cooking 

stoves and wood-burning stoves that replaced the 

popular old-fashioned jamb stoves. 

BY APOIntMEnt tO 

tHE rOYAL dAnISH cOurt 

Just fifty years after N.A. Christensen opened the doors 

of his iron foundry, Morsø Jernstøberi had become one 

of the larger companies in Denmark with more than 50 

employees and was considered a specialist in heating and 

cooking products. Morsø installed stoves in about ,000 

churches throughout Denmark from 890 onward, as well 

as supplied stoves to many Danish schools. Morsø even 

developed a special stove, Etatsovnen or Government 

Department Stove, to suit the needs of several government 

institutions such as Danish Mail, Danish Customs, Danish 

Railways and the Danish Ministries. At the royal palace, 

the Amalienborg Castle, Morsø installed empire-style 

stoves, and also supplied cast iron stoves for several other 

royal homes. In 9 5, Morsø Jernstøberi was awarded 

the prestigious designation, Appointment to the Royal 

Danish Court, an honor currently bestowed upon only 00 

companies and/or individuals. 

cOnVEctIOn PrIncIPLE 

At the dawn of the new century, Morsø developed, along 

with some other iron foundries of the time, a new and 

revolutionary method for fast and efficient distribution of 

hot air. The side plates installed on the firebox of the stove 

form air channels where cold air from the floor is pulled in, 

heated, and then blown out off the top. One of the earliest 

examples of a Morsø stove with convection is the beautiful 

Morsø Peacock stove. 

cHALLEnGInG tIMES 

During the 950s and 960s the advent and advancement 

of central heating systems made the classic stove all but 

obsolete. This was a critical time for both development and 

demand of Morsø stoves, and Morsø got through this time 

with aplomb. In the early 990s Morsø went through yet 

another challenging period when iron foundries throughout 

Europe were facing difficulty. Once again the storm 

was weathered – but Morsø did not merely survive, it got 

through a difficult time with success and on track for the 

new millennium.

cASt IrOn StOVE 

Since the original cast iron stove was made at the Morsø 

Jernstøberi more than 55 years ago, Morsø has become 

one of the leading providers of cast iron stoves around the 

world. From Europe to Africa, North America to Australia 

and Japan, today, Morsø cast iron stoves are sold in over 

25 countries.

chimney draft and 

Lighting techniques 

6 

cHIMnEY drAFt 

The chimney is really your stove’s engine and the 

chimney draft is one of the most important 

factors for a well-functioning stove. 

You have a good chimney draft when: 

• There is a big temperature difference between the 

chimney air and the outside air 

• The weather is clear 

• The chimney is of the correct height 

You have a reduced draft when: 

• The chimney does not have the proper height 

• The chimney is screened or covered with trees 

causing return smoke into the chimney 

• The temperature difference is too small, for example this 

can happen when the chimney is poorly insulated 

• The outside air temperature is too high 

• There is no wind 

• The chimney is not tight 

• The air supply reduced too much 

In addition to leaks in chimney pipes, you should be aware 

of potential leaks in the doors, cleanout doors, and pipe 

connectors of your stove. 

drY FIrEWOOd IS ESSEntIAL 

Wood consists roughly 70% of gases, and it is these gases 

that, in the presence of oxygen and the right temperature, 

produce flame and heat. You get the best use of firewood 

when it has a maximum humidity of 8-20%. %. It is a 

good idea to obtain a Morsø moisture meter to determine 

whether your wood has the correct moisture content. The 

logs should be cut in the length appropriate for your stove, 

split, and stacked in a dry place with a few inches all around 

the stack, so it can dry naturally. As a rule firewood should 

sit for -2 years after being cut down. Please see user 

instructions for a clear guide to load quantities and 

expected burn times 

dIFFErEnt tYPES OF FIrEWOOd 

Morsø stoves are all well suited for firewood and woodbriquettes. 

If you use wood briquettes, you must make sure 

that they are made from pure wood pulp, without any type 

of treated wood. Softwood such as pine, larch, and spruce, 

and hardwood such as oak and cherry, burn with a strong 

crackle and throw sparks and are best burned in closed 

wood stoves. Hardwood such as beech, maple, elm, ash 

and birch burn with a strong and calm flame and are 

therefore suitable for both wood stoves and open fireplaces. 

Light firewood types such as spruce and pine have less 

heating capacity than hardwoods, such as oak and beech. 

Spruce and pine are perfect for the purposes of kindling as 

they are easy to split into small pieces and burn for a 

shorter period of time compared to heavy firewood. 

Using wood to heat your home is economical and 

environmentally sound. Wood is one of the few renewable 

energy sources, and with today’s clean burning stove 

technology, does not pollute the air you breathe.

Morsø and the 

environment 

8 

Fire has been harnessed by mankind for thousands of years and to this day 

we still have that primeval instinct to gather around the fire. But much has 

changed since the open fires of our ancestors. We are now able to control 

this heat, cleanly and efficiently with a modern Morsø wood stove. 

In today’s world, a Morsø stove provides the user with one 

of the most advanced wood burning combustion systems 

around; and when used properly, it is amongst the most 

environmentally friendly heating solutions in the world. 

When using a Morsø wood-burning stove you are making 

a positive fuel choice, a choice that helps us to protect the 

very planet on which we live. Wood is a plentiful, renewable, 

non-fossil natural product and when used as fuel it is 

in effect ‘carbon-neutral’ meaning that the CO2 released 

when burning is being absorbed by the tree that has been 

replanted; in fact the same level of CO2 would have been 

emitted by a tree that had been left to rot naturally on the 

forest floor. 

In Denmark, wood-burning accounts for roughly 5% of 

the total annual domestic space heating. In real terms this 

means that wood, a natural renewable energy, has replaced 

an annual consumption of over 80,000 tons of oil; 

roughly converted to an annual reduction of .5 million 

tons in CO2 emissions. Under the Kyoto Protocol, Denmark 

and many other countries has undertaken to greatly 

reduce its CO2 emissions; it is already over 0% towards 

its goal. Fact; burning wood in a Morsø stove helps to 

reduce CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect. 

MOrSØ And StAndArdS 

NORDIC ENVIRONMENT LABEL 

Morsø produces some of the most energy efficient, clean 

burning stoves in the world. Our stoves meet; even surpass 

the strictest environmental standards in the world, including 

EPA and Norwegian Standard NS 058/ 059 for the 

lowest particulate emissions 

Morsø’s commitment for a cleaner environment is further 

recognised. In 2007 almost the entire Morsø product line 

in Europe was certify by the Nordic Swan Eco-label, a 

public environmental certification that sets requirements 

not only for low particle emissions and high efficiency, 

but it also recognizes companies that are actively reducing 

their ‘environmental footprint’ in terms of production 

practices and packaging. In short, having the Nordic Swan 

Eco-label shows our continued commitment for a cleaner, 

greener planet.

Integrated Design 

22 

Through the years, the names of renowned architects and 

designers have become an indelible part of Morsø stoves. 

Creative individuals have used their unique sense of form 

and function to give Morsø an international reputation for 

vibrant and beautifully designed products. 

World-renowned designers such as Kaare Klint, Constantin 

Sørensen, Acton Bjørn, Sigvard Bernadotte, Knud 

Holscher, Queensbury, Hunt & Levien and Studio Levien 

have 

designed stoves for Morsø. The trend of the times have 

determined whether the stoves are flamboyantly designed 

with soft sculptural shapes or have a more tight and 

minimalist design – but despite the trends and the times, 

Morsø stoves are regarded as beautiful, solid classics. 

KnuD HolscHer (1930-) 

Architect and professor, Knud Holscher has through the 

past few decades put his mark on Danish everyday life. 

He is the designer behind one of the most successful series 

of door handles: d line and products of his creative mind 

are also AFA JCDeceaux’s elegant outdoor poster stand, 

a bus stop windscreen, as well as a bathroom series 

manufactured by Ifö. 

Over the years Holscher has designed many famous 

buildings: the Danish pavilion at the World Fair in Sevilla, 

the National Museum in Bahrain, the Parking House and 

Terminal B in the Copenhagen Airport, the University of 

Odense, and the Cultural Center in Neumünster, Germany. 

sIgvarD BernaDotte (1907-2002) 

Prince Sigvard of Sweden was born with a creative mind 

and a talent to transform that creativity into something 

tangible. He studied art history and political science in 

Uppsala, and in 1930 he enrolled at Konst-högskolan, an 

art school in Stockholm. In 1934 Prince Sigvard married a 

German commoner against his father’s will, for which he 

immediately lost the title of Prince. His new name and title 

was Count Sigvard Bernadotte of Visborg. 

Through almost five decades he designed for Georg Jensen 

Silversmith where his simple geometrical design of china 

series, bowls, and flatware continue to be very successful 

products for the company, Royal Copenhagen. 

At the end of the 1940s Sigvard started a partnership with 

another designer, Acton Bjørn. They introduced a new 

concept, Industrial Design, and among their many recognized 

works is the beloved Margrethe Bowl from 1950. In 

the early 1960s the duo developed an elegant, enameled 

stove and a series of cast iron pots for Morsø Jernstøberi. 

Kaare KlInt (1888-1954) 

In 1924 the Danish architect Kaare Klint started the Art 

Academy’s furniture school and thereby laid the foundation 

for a new type of education that influenced a long line 

of Danish architects, furniture designers, and furniture 

makers through the 20th century. His method was rooted 

in function, choice of material and the weight and physical 

size of the human body in relation to design. Klint designed 

many furniture classics, including the Faaborg Chair 

from 1914, the Box Pew from 1936, and the Safari Chair 

from 1933. 

In 1944, Morsø Jernstøberi launched a special stove designed 

by Kaare Klint. The stove had a poem by author 

and nobel price winner Johannes V Jensen on its side.

HolscHer 

The d-line series are as useful and modern today 

as they were when introduced in 1973. 

KlInt 

The Safari Chair from 1933 is the 

essence of Danish design. A simple and 

elegant chair made with superior 

materials, the Safari Chair is a prime 

example of Kaare Klint’s creative mind. 

Sigvard Bernadotte and Acton Bjørn designed the Margrethe 

bowl in 1950 and named it in honor of the Crown Princess 

Margrethe four years later when the Danish constitution 

was amended to crown Margrethe as first Crown Princess 

of Denmark, who would succeed as Queen of Denmark after 

her father, King Fredrick IX passed. The Margrethe Bowl 

is an example of simple and functional design that has 

lasted for over 50 years.

the artists 

of Morsø 

28 

Morsø, the iron foundry and Mors, the island have been 

a great source of inspiration for several Danish artists. 

The massive, robust and elegant stoves have always been 

intrinsically Danish and have stimulated the creative minds 

of many writers, photographers and painters. 

JoHannes v. Jensen (1874-1950) 

A great Danish writer, Johannes V. Jensen was the recipient 

of the 1944 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his career 

that spanned 52 years, Jensen wrote several novels and 

poems, and his body of work is of seminal importance to 

Danish literature and culture in the 20th century. In 1910 

he was awarded the Danish Government Grant, and ten 

years later he received an honorary doctorate from the 

University of Lund in Sweden. 

In 1944 Morsø Jernstøberi launched a special stove designed 

by the famous architect, Kaare Klint, and a poem by 

Johannes V Jensen adorned the side of the stove. 

The poem praises Morsø, while it criticizes war. 

At Morsø Iron Foundry I was baptized 

Cast for the hearth and not for weapon 

Stay out strife, cold and fog 

I spread warmth in your house

Jens sMÆruP sØrensen (1946-) 

Jens Smærup Sørensen, a resident of the island of Mors, is 

amongst the most recognized contemporary authors of 

Danish literature. He made his debut as a poet in 1971 and 

has over the years developed a unique style that makes his 

stories both artful and relevant. 

In celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Morsø 

Jernstøberi in 2003, Sørensen wrote a book of short stories 

about the people and the land that birthed and reared the 

iron foundry. Sørensen is the recipient of several literary 

awards, including The Critic Award (1989) and the Danish 

Academy’s Grand Prize (1990), and has also received 

acknowledgements from Leo Estvads Foundation (2001) 

and Albert Dams Memorial Foundation (2004). 

Here Is an eXcerPt FroM ”DeParture 1845” 

BY Jens sMÆruP sØrensen: 

They were all lying down having a rest when we got there. Our bailiff 

came up to the road when he saw us, and that morning, he said, he had 

told everyone how things stood, that there would be a new owner now, 

and so on. 

So I shouldn´t think there´ll be a lot of harvesting going on today, he 

said. There´s no one really feels like doing anything, and there´s not a 

lot you can say to that! 

No, I said. There isn´t.. 

No, we all need to collect ourselves a bit, don´t we? he said. I suppose 

we think we´ve served your father well, and your grandfather for so 

many years before him too! Well, a few of the older ones may even 

have lent a hand in your great-grandfather´s time! And we think we´ve 

served the family as well as we could! 

Of that I am sure, I said. 

And none of us knows how things will turn out now, he said. 

No, I said. None of us knows that! 

In the meantime one of the peasants had come forward. He had stood 

there for a while just looking at us. 

You must be Thorvald then, he now asked me. 

No, replied the bailiff. Thorvald has long been over the hills and far 

away, no, this is Harald! And this is Ferdinand and young Flora! 

Are you going to leave us now, the peasant asked me. And go so far 

from here? 

Yes, replied the bailiff. As I said to you all, they are going way down 

to the south of the country! 

I suppose it´s a huge thing then, the peasant asked me, I should imagine 

you´re going to have a fair old estate down there, no doubt? 

Yes, you can be sure of that, answered the bailiff. Although Dueholm 

isn´t too bad either, is it? 

I wonder if you won´t come to miss Mors all the same, the peasant 

asked me. 

The bailiff had no answer to that. So I said we´d better be getting on. 

Home again. 

We turned and went, then stood awhile on the hilltop. I looked at our 

farm down there in front of us. And I looked over at Nykøbing, and I 

thought that nowhere else in the world could be so beautiful. And I looked 

out over the inlet, and I looked at our Dueholm again, the long 

white wings. The little ones didn´t understand a thing. Nor did I. It was 

as if I was just standing there looking at a lovely picture. As if it were 

already a memory.

In the artistic circles around Morsø Jernstøberi you also 

meet three fascinating and dynamic female artists: 

KIrsten KleIn (1945-) 

On the island of Mors lives and works one of the greatest 

Danish landscape photographers, Kirsten Klein. Klein 

uses Mors as a subject and photographs its natural ups and 

downs, its depths and heights, as she cultivates her 

fascination for birds that live on the island. 

In the past years Klein has been credited for photographers 

published in two books that have a close connection to the 

island of Mors: a beautiful and poetic book about Mors 

published by the Tourist Association of Mors, and the 

Morsø Jernstøberi 150th Anniversary Book. 

Klein received the Department of Culture’s Fotographic 

Book Award in 1994, the Thorvald Bindesbøll Award in 

1995, and Art Award from the largest Danish newspaper, 

Jyllands-Posten, in 2001. 

MonIca rItterBanD (1955-) 

Monica Ritterband is one of the most popular cultural 

icons of Denmark. A successful career journalist, she gave 

up journalism for a corporate life when she was offered 

the position of Vice President of Information at Carlsberg 

A/S, another Danish icon. But today Ritterband will not 

be found in a business suit pedaling products for a corporation, 

as she gave up corporate life to become an active and 

successful artist. Over the past few years, Ritterband has 

proven that she posses a true and extraordinarily creative 

mind and understands how to express herself, successfully, 

through paintings, sculptures, and illustrations. In 2003 she 

created the charming and humorous “Musica” design for 

the Danish design company, Royal Copenhagen, and in 

2004 she created a new universe of design with “Humanerne” 

for the world-famous Georg Jensen Damask. 

Monica Ritterband is also a poet and was inspired by a 

Morsø stove to pen a beautiful and lyrical verse.

to MY WooDBurnIng stove 

In my highceilinged lofty tower, hour by hour, 

you are presiding 

round and sound and special and black 

waiting in majestic serenity 

for my freezing nose and toes to be back. 

You are almost new, 

capless you were brought by a muscular man 

who puffed and blew. 

You came by dolly, you came by van, 

and he struggled and staggered about 

and was on the verge of an angry shout. 

He crowned you with a pipe on top 

to send smoke and fumes and good thoughts 

all the way up. 

No doubt you will be my new great flame, 

so say my nose and my toes, 

they tell me the same, 

maybe the best ever, who knows! 

You swathe me in your warmest charms, 

no gagging, no nagging, no clinging, no clanging 

with long words and arms 

and sharp, biting teeth, 

you open your soft mouth and swallow everything, 

shimmer out a light so mellow 

with red and blue and ochre and yellow 

that my slippers and my woolly socks 

get the elbow and I let my toes tip-toe around 

and I am submerged in your crackling sound 

while my nose takes in the sweet and spicy smell 

of apple and wood, 

there is marmalade bubbling on the stove, 

and at bedtime beech and oak is your food 

and - I confess - a trifle of fir 

that turns your crackle into a sputter 

rather like a child that spits 

his codliver-oil into the gutter. 

I am in my own room, 

my own reservation, 

indeed, I have drawn into my private station. 

Inside 

from corner to corner there is a blanket, 

invisible you know, 

and outside 

the moon is biding her time to turn the tide 

from high to low, 

my defences are down 

and my duty has come to an end, 

I am off, and so is my mask, 

but you are on, my friend. 

I am no longer the drudge of the day, 

no longer the hilarious clown in oversized clogs. 

I have no other task 

than being at home, finally alone 

with my woodburning stove 

full of logs. 

sIssle Honoré (1962-) 

One of the most well-known Danish photographers, Sissle 

Honoré was the driving force behind the creative and 

interesting, After Closing Time (1995), a book about the 

old Morsø Iron Foundry. Honoré earned a degree in 

journalism in Denmark after which she studied photography 

at the University of Westminster in London, where she 

received a bachelor’s degree in arts. For the past eighteen 

years, Honoré has lived and worked in London, and is a 

sought-after freelance photographer for both Danish and 

British media. 

Since the early 1980s, Honoré has also been a popular and 

preferred partner for musicians. She explored the artistic 

side of photography with great success, and in 1997 five 

of her photographs were included in the Royal Danish 

Library’s collection. 

Honoré was invited by Morsø to take a series of photographs 

that now adorn the walls of Morsø office buildings. 

Honoré had been chosen to take photographs of the Royal 

Botanic Gardens, Kew’s calendar (2003), and has now 

started a partnership with Gallery NB in Roskilde, Denmark 

(2004).

Good Advice 

for You 

A Morsø stove is more than just a source of heat – it is an 

integral part of your living space, and an indelible asset to your 

home’s interior design. 

42 

A Morsø stove can last for decades, provided it is 

maintained properly. Maintenance includes some simple 

servicing of the stove before every firing session and some 

basic maintenance for winter use. 

• It is important to ensure that the door of the stove is shut 

tight, which means that the sealing rope is not frayed 

and is in good condition. If the sealing rope is not intact 

it will lead to fake draft entering the firebox causing less 

efficient combustion that is difficult to control. 

• Always check the fireproof bricks in the firebox. It is 

okay for the bricks to be cracked but if they have started 

to crumble, they must be replaced. Because if the bricks 

do not hold their original shape, the insulation in the 

firebox is reduced, and the combustion temperature 

becomes too low for efficient combustion. 

• If you feel your stove needs a “face lift” to regain its 

former beauty, it can be easily achieved by applying 

some paint. Morsø markets a series of maintenance 

products such as heat-resistant, rust-proof paint and 

stove polish. 

• If you are having trouble keeping the glass in the door 

clean and free of soot, there are some guidelines you can 

follow. First, ensure that the firewood is dry, because 

burning of damp wood is one cause of soot on the glass 

and in the chimney. Another important thing to consider 

is the size of the logs. Firewood must be split so that the 

logs are not too large. 

Ultimately, it is important to operate the air supply 

correctly. If there is too little air the gasses from the 

wood are not burnt and lie on the glass as soot. Lack of 

air can also cause the combustion temperature to be too 

low, which results in soot in both the stove and chimney. 

If you believe the combustion temperature is too low, 

you can check it by using a Morsø Flue Gas Thermometer. 

When placed on the flue right above the stove, the 

temperature should be between 482 F and 572 F degrees 

to achieve ideal combustion. 

If you already have soot on the glass, you can just clean it 

with the Morsø Glass Cleaner.

A Solid 

Old-Fashioned Craft 

44 

Innumerable changes have taken place since the first cast 

iron molds were filled at the iron foundry in Nykøbing, 

Mors in 1853. But one thing still remains unchanged, each 

Morsø stove is hand built by skilled craftsmen. 

FrOM 1853 tO 1957 

Mankind has used technique of melting and casting iron 

for over 6000 years; and the basic principles continue to be 

used today when producing a modern Morsø stove. 

Essentially, a wooden impression (pattern) of a part is 

pressed into a damp sand mold; raw or scrap iron and/or 

other metals are melted down in vast melting pots and 

when the metal has become liquid (molten) it is poured 

by skilled foundry men into the pre-formed sand molds. 

With a loud hissing, steam is driven from the damp sand 

molds and the liquid metal starts to cool and solidify. Once 

the metal has become solid, the sand mold is knocked 

away leaving only the newly cast part. Thereafter, the part 

is taken away for further preparation, prior to painting, 

enameling or assembly. 

In the early days Morsø Jernstøberi (iron foundry) made 

cast iron parts for farm equipment, household tools, cooking 

ranges and of course wood burning stoves. Demand 

for these products was very high and by the early 20th 

Century the workforce had grown to 350 employees and 

the production facility expanded across more than 4 acres 

of the downtown area of Nykøbing. In those days the hardworking 

craftsmen and foundry workers annually transformed 

over 7,500 tons of iron into useful Morsø products. 

By the end of first half of the Century Morsø had become 

recognized as one of the leading cast iron stove manufacturers. 

Older stove designs began to be up-dated and with 

the emergence of newly invented combustion techniques; 

customized stoves began to appear for churches, schools 

and various governmental departments. Morsø was not 

only entering a new era for wood burning stoves, it was 

leading the way. 

MOdern tIMeS 

Continuing its tradition of cast iron stove manufacture; in 

1957 Morsø embraced the latest technologies to streamline 

its production process and become more efficient. 

Designers replaced wood for the pattern-making and 

adopted modern materials like aluminum or plastic; these 

new materials made the patterns stronger, more durable 

and even more accurate. Casting techniques were refined 

so that the pouring temperature of the molten iron could be 

regulated; techniques that are used to this day, resulting in 

our world-famous thin-wall castings; free from blemishes 

or imperfections and not just on the surfaces but through 

the whole thickness of the metal itself. 

Today our 150 year heritage continues; our stoves are 

made from 98% recycled material and each stove is built 

by highly skilled crafts people; men and women proud of 

their craft and who each offer a superior quality assurance 

to you, our customer.

More than 100 years ago Morsø Jernstøberi produced its first 

miniature cast iron cooking range. It was originally made as 

a salesman’s sample, something practical and symbolic, and 

much better than a photograph that salesmen could take along 

with them as they went door to door to sell Morsø products. 

The miniature cast iron cooking range was inspired by the 

Morsø quick-heating cast iron cooking range made in the 

1900s. The miniature cooking range had the same detailed 

craftsmanship as the original, and was a perfect miniature 

rendition of it. Production of the miniature cooking range 

was stopped in the early 1990s, but has now begun again. 

In 2003, Morsø introduced an old novelty, the miniature 

or doll’s cast iron cooking range that was faithful to its 

predecessor made almost a century ago. Along with the 

doll’s cooking range, comes a series of miniature cast iron 

kitchen utensils, which include four pots and one pan. The 

miniature cooking range is now being sold as a high-quality 

toy for children. It weighs about 15 lbs, is 6.5” high, 10” 

wide and 9” deep. A beautiful and elegant little cooking 

range, it is the ultimate dream for every little girl.

The cooking range has over 

time become a sought-after 

subject for toy makers. 

In 1952, the Danish royal 

family visited the island of 

Mors and three young girls 

were lucky to be presented 

with their own doll’s cooking 

range from Morsø 

Jernstøberi. The three lucky 

girls were the three Danish 

princesses, Margrethe, 

Benedikte and Anne-Marie. 

Today the miniature cook- 

ing ranges from Morsø made before 2003 are collector’s 

items and are heavily prized at auctions and antique stores. 

new MInIStOve 6140 

We are pleased to introduce a new miniature stove, this 

time one from the popular 6100 series. The Morsø 6100 

series has become one of our most popular stove lines in a 

very short time, both in Denmark and abroad. 

The Minestove is, of course, made of original cast iron. 

The door can be opened just as with the full-sized stoves, 

and with a tea light in the stove, this minimalist little classic 

spreads warmth and comfort.

”forest stove”. The new version has a glass door and is fitted

ger over the firebox, more heat is extracted from the fire and 

the greater mass of cast iron radiates more heat to the living 

area. The stove will easily accommodate wood lengths up to 

18” and will heat 1200 square feet of living space.

An Honorable 

designation 

Morsø Jernstøberi was bestowed with the designation 

“Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court” in 1915, and in 

1969, the designation was changed to “By Appointment 

to the Royal Danish Court”. 

At the beginning of the 19th century the Danish royal 

family started using the designation, “Purveyor to the 

Royal Danish Court” to recognize businesses that catered 

to the royal household. A hundred years later in 1904 the 

designation “By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court” 

was awarded for the first time. The distinction between 

the two designations was that the “Purveyor to the Royal 

Danish Court” is given to companies and/or individuals 

that have a direct business relationship with the King 

or Queen, while “By Appointment to the Royal Danish 

Court” is awarded to companies that supply products 

and/or services to the royal household. 

wHO IS AwArded 

To be awarded these honorable designations it is necessary 

for the company or individual to have had a regular 

business relationship, lasting 10 years or more, with the 

Royal Danish Court. It is also required that the company 

is well established, financially sound, well managed, and 

well respected. 

A royal designation can not be purchased. A company or 

individual seeking such a designation must apply for it 

and after a thorough evaluation the royal family personally 

awards the designation. The designations are awarded each 

year on Her Majesty the Queen’s birthday. 

deSIGnAtIOn HOLder 

It is tradition that the “By Appointment to the Royal 

Danish Court” designation is made to one specific 

individual in the company, the designation holder. It is 

customary for the designation to stand as long as the 

company meets all the royal requirements, and if the 

designation holder dies or leaves the company, or if the 

company changes ownership, the company must apply for 

a renewal of the designation. 

OnLY FOr tHe BeSt 

There are only ten remaining monarchies in Europe, and 

therefore very few European companies are awarded royal 

designations, making them very elusive and prestigious. 

Currently, only 100 companies and/or individuals have the 

privilege of using either Danish royal designation: 

“Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court” or “By Appointment 

to the Royal Danish Court.” 

PUrveYOr tO tHe rOYAL 

dAnISH COUrt 

King Christian X was so impressed with the high-quality 

products from Morsø used in the royal household, that 

he awarded the company the prestigious “Purveyor to the 

Royal Danish Court” designation in 1915. 

tHe deSIGnAtIOn wAS CHAnGed 

Since the early 1950s the designation “Purveyor to the 

Royal Danish Court” has frequently been changed to 

“By Appointment to the Royal Danish Court,” when it was 

time for the designation to be renewed. There have been 

cases where the company has grown so large that there 

is no personal contact with the royal family even though 

the company continues to deliver products to the royal 

household. This was the case with Morsø Jernstøberi and 

it was in spring 1969 that King Christian IX changed the 

company’s royal designation to “By Appointment to the 

Royal Danish Court.”

the danish 

Foundry Museum 

52 

The old foundry stands in the center of Nykøbing. After having 

been neglected for a number of years, the buildings have undergone 

an extensive restoration and subsequently turned into a museum, 

the Danish Foundry Museum. 

Here, in the old foundry shops, you may relive the 150year 

long history of Morsø Jernstøberi through pictures, 

original tools worn by the use of many hands, and wellpreserved 

old products. 

The exhibition, the largest of its kind in Denmark, shows 

an impressive selection of the many products produced at 

Morsø Jernstøberi through time: tile stoves, oven ranges, 

pots and pans. However, not only does the exhibition show 

these durable cast iron products; the visitors are also told 

the fascinating history of the many people who worked 

in the factory, in the production shops and in the offices 

generation after generation.

the northernmost Morsø 

Stove in the world 

In the northern part of East Greenland, far from the coast 

and the settlements stands a small hunter cabin. This cabin, 

named ”Aalborghus”, is primarily used by native hunters 

who will go there with their dogsleds to seek shelter from 

the freezing cold and snowstorms. In addition, the Sirius 

Patrol makes frequent use of this facility – especially the 

fine heat the cabin offers. 

Until a few years ago, the cabin was equipped with an 

old, traditional Morsø cast iron kitchen stove. Today, this 

has been replaced by quite a special stove that Morsø 

has constructed specially for ”Aalborghus”. In addition 

to supplying the lifesaving heating, the new stove serves 

as a cooking stove so that food may be cooked and water 

boiled. 

The oven was delivered in Denmark, and the Sirius Patrol 

undertook its transportation and installed it in the cabin. 

On the wall behind the stove, you can make out a choice 

brass plate with an inscription saying that the stove was 

donated by Morsø Jernstøberi. Notice the matches on the 

table to the left of the oven. They are there, ready for use, 

so you don’t have to fumble for matches with your fingers 

frozen stiff.
