Osburn Inspire 2000-I Inbuilt Installation and Operation Manual 9 THE FLUE SYSTEM 9.1 GENERAL The flue system, made up of the flue system and the flue between the wood inbuilt and the flue system, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best wood inbuilt will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable flue system.
