The Morsø Squirrel is arguably the most famous name in boat heating. This Danish brand has over 160 years of heritage, and its cast-iron stoves are a staple on narrowboats and yachts worldwide. Uniquely, the Squirrel is now available in both traditional solid fuel and modern diesel configurations.
Morsø Boat Stoves: Danish Heritage & Modern Efficiency
The Morsø Squirrel range represents a harmonious blend of maritime tradition and contemporary engineering. Celebrated for its iconic squirrel motif side plates, these stoves are manufactured from high-grade cast iron, which offers superior heat retention and durability in the damp marine environment. Whether you prefer the ritual of a solid fuel fire or the push-button convenience of a diesel-fired unit, the Morsø Squirrel provides a compact, high-output heating solution that has been a favourite of boaters for generations.
Solid Fuel and Diesel Variations
The range includes the classic Morsø 1412, a multi-fuel stove that meets modern Ecodesign standards for clean burning, and the Morsø 1010, a dedicated wood-burning model. For those looking to move away from wood and coal, the Morsø Squirrel Diesel Boat Stove offers the same aesthetic charm but operates on the vessel’s main fuel supply. This versatility allows owners to choose the fuel source that best suits their cruising lifestyle. All models can be custom-painted in a variety of heat-resistant colours to match your cabin’s interior design.
Professional Fitting and Marine Standards
Due to their cast-iron construction, Morsø stoves require expert installation to manage weight distribution and heat clearances. Our OFTEC-trained engineers specialise in both solid fuel and diesel boat stove installations. Every installation is performed to the BS 8511:2010 safety standard, ensuring your vessel complies with all Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) requirements. We provide complete kits, including specialist marine flue systems to guarantee long-term reliability.
