Morso gas stove, convert to woodfuel??

[Beezy]

Evening All

 

I'm on the lookout for a small wood burner, there is a local one on the Bay which is currently gas powered.

 

My question is, can this be converted safely and cheaply to a wood fuel? I can post the pictures or link if necessary.

 

Any thoughts? Cheers:thumbup1:

Hi all

 

A bit of a bump with a link to the Morso gas stove on eBay.

 

Any thoughts re converting to wood fuel?!

No it cant.

 

There is a Morso Badger there as well, that would do fine providing you have a decent sized room, ( 5m x 6m) to shove it in. the 5kw its rated at is downrated to get over a air brick requirement in the building regs.

 

Small room the look for a Morso Squirrel, same as that gas one but multifuel. Parts are easily available even for a 40 year old stove.

I'm aware that this thread is ancient, but I have been offered a Gas Morso Squirrel myself, and have heard from the vendor that it can be converted to solid fuel.  Just wondered if anyone has tried this, or can offer categorical advice.  The Squirrel is at a good price, and in great condition, so I'm reluctant to give up on the idea!
