    With the Winter fast approaching I want to know how to get the most from my new stove.

    What is the best way to keep it generating heat overnight ?

    MaryFMOR, there is a poster called Stove Fan that you could PM. I think he knows his stoves probably better than those that fit them, myself included.

    Congratulations on buying a morso squirrel stove:D Excellent classic stove. As the firebox is quite small I would suggest banking it up with smokeless coal last thing at night. Close the air screws fully. If you come down in the morning and it's out try only closing the air screws partly.

    I wouldn't normally recommend burning overnight but if its really cold out I can see why you would want to. I don't like burning overnight as it uses more fuel and depending on what your burning can soot/creosote the chimney up by long periods of incomplete combustion. Fire just smouldering rather than burning. Wood is the thing I am thinking of.

    I would highly advocate the use of a stove temperature quage. At least then you know if you are overheating the stove or underburning.

    Here is what they look like. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stovax-Stove-Thermometer-Temperature-Gauge/dp/B00465NFQQ You would be able to buy them here at a stove suppliers.

    Many thanks for your very kind words:) I am not a professional in the stove industry but have an interest in stoves and have fitted a few in my own houses. I used to be a gas heating installer in the UK. All combi boilers.
