    2.3 ZONE HEATING AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU Your new Osburn 1600 wood stove 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.

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 3.2.3 LOG LENGTH Logs should be cut about 1” (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long make loading the stove very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16”...

  • Page 15: How To Dry Firewood

    Osburn 1600 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 inserts. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door.

  • Page 17: Operating Your Stove

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 4 OPERATING YOUR STOVE 4.1 YOUR FIRST FIRES Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the stove are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do smell bad.

  • Page 18: The Top Down Fire

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 4.2.2 THE TOP DOWN FIRE The top down fire starting method solves two problems with the conventional method: first, it does not collapse and smother itself as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build up the fire gradually because the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit.

  • Page 19: Ash Removal

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual Wood burns best in cycles. A cycle starts when a new load of wood is ignited by hot coals and ends when that load has been consumed down to a bed of charcoal about the same size as it was when the wood was loaded.

  • Page 20: Firing Each New Load Hot

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual Remove ash first, and then rake charcoal towards the front of the firebox before loading so that it will ignite the new load. 4.3.4 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.

  • Page 21: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.6 BUILDING DIFFERENT FIRES FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS Using the air control is not the only way to match the stove’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature.
  • Page 22 Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.6.4 Maximum Burn Cycle Times The burn cycle time is the period between loading wood on a coal bed and the consumption of that wood back to a coal bed of the same size. The flaming phase of the fire lasts for roughly the first half of the burn cycle and the second half is the coal bed phase during which there is little or no flame.

  • Page 23: Maintaining Your Wood Heating System

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 5 MAINTAINING YOUR WOOD HEATING SYSTEM 5.1 STOVE MAINTENANCE Your new stove 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 24: Door Adjustment

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.3 DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your stove 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 25: Replacing The Glass Gasket And/Or The Glass

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.5 REPLACING THE GLASS GASKET AND/OR THE GLASS It is a good idea to replace the glass gasket when the door gasket is replaced. The gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. Remove the glass retaining screws (A) and both metal frames (B) that hold the glass (C) to the door frame (D).

  • Page 26: Cleaning And Painting The Stove

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken. To change the glass, perform the same operation described above. Replace the gasket in the metal frame by peeling it off and removing the old silicone layer. Apply new silicone in the metal frame.

  • Page 27: Cleaning The Chimney

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual It is recommended to clean thoroughly the chimney system at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air is damper and with minimal air circulation within the stove or furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the chimney system to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.

  • Page 41: Supply Of Combustion Air

    Osburn 1600 Installation and Operation Manual 8.5 SUPPLY OF COMBUSTION AIR In Canada, wood stoves are not required to have a supply of combustion air from outdoors (except in mobile homes) because research has shown that these supplies do not give protection against house depressurization and may fail to supply combustion air during windy weather.
