  • Page 18: Chimney

    CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or ULC S629 standards; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.

  • Page 19: Chimney Connector (Stove Pipe)

    CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE) Your chimney connector (commonly called stove pipe) and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24-gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm). It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel. The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney connector: ...

  • Page 25: Outside Combustion Air

    OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your OSBURN stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this option through your OSBURN dealer.

  • Page 26: Woodstove Utilisation

    WOODSTOVE UTILISATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table in order to make the best possible choice.

  • Page 27: Testing Your Wood

    Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through the cord. A 24" to 48" air space should be left between each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible.

  • Page 28: Heating

    If you push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Your OSBURN stove burnt between .954 kg\h et 2.556 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing. Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.

  • Page 29: Reloading

    RELOADING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove's door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draught and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove.

  • Page 30: Use Of The Bypass Damper

    USE OF THE BYPASS DAMPER Your stove is equipped with a bypass damper. This feature should be used, if needed, upon start-up of the stove to help heat-up the chimney faster. The bypass damper should be closed as soon as there is a fire going inside the firebox and smoke is moving upward through the exhaust system.

  • Page 31: Creosote Formation And Need For Removal

    CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.

  • Page 32: Fan (Blower) Operation

    Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the stove if the glass is broken.  If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the Osburn dealer.
