    2.2 ZONE HEATING AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU Your new Osburn Matrix wood fire is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.

  • Page 13: Log Length

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 3.2.3 LOG LENGTH Logs should be cut about 25 mm (1”) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are slightly too long make loading the wood fire very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 400 mm (16”).

  • Page 14: How To Dry Firewood

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 3.2.5 HOW TO DRY FIREWOOD Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood fires. The complaints usually involve a lack of heat and dirty door glass.

  • Page 15: Where To Store Wood

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 3.2.6 WHERE TO STORE WOOD This wood fire has been certified to store logs in the pedestal provided that the following requirements are met: • The logs must not exceed the inside edge (A) of the pedestal.

  • Page 16: Manufactured Logs

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 3.3 MANUFACTURED LOGS Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned, but use caution in the number of these logs burned at one time. Start with one manufactured log and see how the wood fire reacts.

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 4 OPERATING YOUR WOOD FIRE NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR WOOD FIRE. IF ANY PART OF THE WOOD FIRE STARTS TO GLOW • RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER SETTING.

  • Page 18: Lighting Fires

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 4.3 LIGHTING FIRES Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite way to light fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the flue system.

  • Page 19: Two Parallel Logs

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual The fire is topped with about 5 sheets of newspaper. You can just bunch them up and stuff them in between the kindling and the underside of the baffle. Or you can make newspaper knots by rolling up single sheets corner to corner and tying a knot in them.

  • Page 20: Ash Removal

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the wood fire’s loading door while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak from the wood fire when the door is opened as a full fire is burning.

  • Page 21: Firing Each New Load Hot

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.4 FIRING EACH NEW LOAD HOT Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red.

  • Page 22: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6 BUILDING DIFFERENT FIRES FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS Using the air control is not the only way to match the wood fire’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in April than in July to be kept at a comfortable temperature. If you fill the firebox full in fall weather, you will either overheat the space or turn the wood fire down so much that the fire will be smoky and inefficient.
  • Page 23 Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6.3 High Output Fires for Cold Weather When the heat demand is high during cold weather, you’ll need a fire that burns steadily and brightly. This is the time to use your biggest pieces of hardwood fuel if you have it. Put the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly.

  • Page 24: Maintaining Your Wood Heating System

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 5 MAINTAINING YOUR WOOD HEATING SYSTEM 5.1 WOOD FIRE MAINTENANCE Your new wood fire will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat.

  • Page 25: Door Adjustment

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.2 DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your wood fire to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically making sure to obtain an air tight fit.

  • Page 26: Replacing The Door Gasket

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.3 REPLACING THE DOOR GASKET It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.

  • Page 27: Cleaning And Painting The Wood Fire

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket.

  • Page 28: Flue And Flue System Maintenance

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 5.2 FLUE AND FLUE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE 5.2.1 WHY FLUE SYSTEM CLEANING IS NECESSARY Wood smoke can condense inside the flue and flue system, forming a combustible deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the flue system it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the wood fire and a very hot fire can progress to the top of the flue system.

  • Page 29: Part B - Installation

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual PART B – INSTALLATION It is very important to position the wood fire as close as possible to the flue system, and in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The wood fire must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible.

  • Page 30: Regulations Covering Wood Fire Installation

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 6.2 REGULATIONS COVERING WOOD FIRE INSTALLATION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR OSBURN WOOD FIRE BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER. IF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

  • Page 31: Clearances To Heat-Sensitive Materials

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 7 CLEARANCES TO HEAT-SENSITIVE MATERIALS It is of outmost importance that the clearances to heat-sensitive materials be carefully maintained upon installation of the wood fire you have selected. Refer to the tables below. No part of the wood fire or flue may be located closer to combustibles than the minimum clearance figures given.

  • Page 32: Floor Protector

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual Clearances to heat-sensitive materials and floor protection 7.3 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the wood fire is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non combustible material as shown on the dotted line area of the above figures.

  • Page 35: The Flue System

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 8 THE FLUE SYSTEM 8.1 GENERAL The flue system, made up of the flue system and the flue between the wood fire and the flue system, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best wood fire will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable flue system.

  • Page 36: Masonry Flue Systems

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 8.2.2 MASONRY FLUE SYSTEMS The wood fire may also be connected to a masonry flue system, provided the flue system complies with AS/NZS 2918 or with the construction rules found in the building code enforced locally.

  • Page 37: Minimum Flue System Height

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 8.3 MINIMUM FLUE SYSTEM HEIGHT Flue heights and lengths from AS/NZS 2918:2001 The top of the flue system should be tall enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof.

  • Page 38: The Relationship Between The Flue System And The House

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 8.4 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FLUE SYSTEM AND THE HOUSE Because the flue system is the engine that drives the wood heating system, it must have the right characteristics. The signs of bad system design are cold downdraught when there is no fire in the wood fire, slow kindling of new fires, and smoke roll-out when the door is opened for loading.

  • Page 39: Why The Flue System Should Penetrate The Highest Heated Space

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 8.4.2 WHY THE FLUE SYSTEM SHOULD PENETRATE THE HIGHEST HEATED SPACE When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This tendency of warm air to rise creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure low in the house (relative to outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone high in the house.

  • Page 40: Installing The Flue Connector

    Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual 8.5 INSTALLING THE FLUE CONNECTOR The flue has been called ‘the weak link’ in the safety of wood heating systems because failure to install the flue connector properly (which has been common in the past) can result in house fires.
  • Page 41 Osburn Matrix Installation and Operation Manual The rules below are based on those found in the AS/NZS 2918:2001 installation code.
