Unlike other products used on stainless steel, 303 Patio Furniture Protectant leaves a beautiful, lustrous finish with no streaks. The long-lasting 303 finish repels grease, barbecue sauce and smoke residue. Treated surfaces stay cleaner longer and are cleaned up more easily when they are finally soiled.

Morsø is adding yet another great product to its extensive range of wood-burning stoves: the Morsø 5660 insert. Continuing the Morsø heritage, the 5660 is manufactured in high-grade cast iron, a strong, durable material particularly well suited for freestanding stoves (and especially wood-burning inserts). Cast iron not only has excellent heat-retaining properties, but also distributes a steady, even and comfortable warmth to the room. Cast iron is also a perfect material for ensuring first-class combustion; thus, the new Morsø 5660 insert is already classed among the most environmentally friendly inserts in the world.
