Morso 7110 Handle

[backpack09]

This is really a non issue, but when I looked at the stove in the store. I know that the handle was perminently attatched to the stove. When I unpacked the stove after getting it home, I find that the handle does not attatch to the stove, and has a nifety little holder in the worst possible place.. Behind the stove.

Has anyone perminently attatched this to their stove, and not had it dissintegrate? I was thinking epoxy.


Thanks,
Dan

I hang mine on the fireplace tool rack and I took the damn spring off too.

Spring?

I figured all Morso's had similar handle configurations. Mine is round stainless with a square end milled on it. There is a spring on that , to prevent one from leaving it in the door. The spring made the handle a PITA so I took it off.

Sounds different than mine. The 7110's handle looks like a chalk holder or a big pen. The handle angles down, so if you tried to leave it on.. it would just fall off.

Mine sits on the hearth in front of the stove.

One of the few minor complaints I have with the stove.

I tried that.. The dawg scooped that up faster than a fresh squirrel in the back yard...

I can only say that I think Morsoe got sued, because some child opened the door and crawled in or something. So your supposed to lock the handle in the safe or something. The positive side is it's always cool when you pop it on to open her up.

Ok, so I'm not crazy for taking the damned spring right off of my 2040's handle?

Do your guys' handle also have a pin, that prevents the handle from entering the fireplace fully? The pin on mine secured the spring, but I'm thinking of grabbing some plyers and just pulling it off...

Any thoughts?

I did not remove the pin, not sure if it would affect anything or not.
