  • Page 16: Lighting Fires

    Osburn 900 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 17: Two Parallel Logs

    Osburn 900 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.3 TWO PARALLEL LOGS Place two spit logs in the firebox. Place a few sheets of twisted newspaper between the logs. Now place some fine kindling across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style. Light the newspaper.

  • Page 18: Ash Removal

    Osburn 900 Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.2 ASH REMOVAL Ash should be removed from the firebox every two or three days of full time heating. Do not let the ash build up in the firebox because it will interfere with proper fire management. The best time to remove ash is after an overnight fire when the wood fire is relatively cool, but there is still some flue system draft to draw the ash dust into the wood fire and prevent it from coming into the room.

  • Page 19: Firing Each New Load Hot

    Osburn 900 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 20: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    Osburn 900 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 21 Osburn 900 Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6.4 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 22: Maintaining Your Wood Heating System

    Osburn 900 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 23: Door Adjustment

    Osburn 900 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 24: Replacing The Door Gasket

    Osburn 900 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 25: Cleaning And Painting The Wood Fire

    Osburn 900 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.5 CLEANING AND PAINTING THE WOOD FIRE Do not attempt to clean or paint the wood fire when the unit is hot. Painted surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Plated surfaces may be scratched by abrasive cleaners. To maintain the finish at its original brilliance, use only a damp soft cloth to clean plated surfaces.

  • Page 29: Clearances To Heat-Sensitive Materials

    Osburn 900 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 30: Floor Protector

    Osburn 900 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-1 combustible material as shown on the dotted line area of the above figures. Install a 780 mm (W) x 800 mm (D) floor protection of 6 mm of thickness with thermal resistance of 0.8 m K/W per 4 mm thick.

  • Page 33: The Flue System

    Osburn 900 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 34: Masonry Flue Systems

    Osburn 900 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 36: The Relationship Between The Flue System And The House

    Osburn 900 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 37: Why The Flue System Should Penetrate The Highest Heated Space

    Osburn 900 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 42 Osburn 900 Installation and Operation Manual APPENDIX 3: INSTALLATION AND USE OF OPTIONAL BLOWER AND THERMODISC An optional blower can be installed on the back of the wood fire to increase the flow of air past heat exchange surfaces and to help circulate warm air in the room. When used regularly, the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2 percent.
  • Page 43 Osburn 900 Installation and Operation Manual When using a blower (optional), allow the wood fire to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning it on. The increased airflow from the blower cools the firebox and could affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the blower is turned on too early. You can also install a thermodisc to enable the blower to start or stop automatically when the wood fire is hot or too cold.
