Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 2.2 ZONE HEATING AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU Your new Osburn 2000 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. Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source. Houses of moderate size and relatively new construction can be heated with a properly sized and located wood stove. Whole house zone heating works best when the stove is located in the part of the house where the family spends most of its time. This is normally the main living area where the kitchen, dining and living rooms are located. By locating the stove in this area, you will get the maximum benefit of the heat it produces and will achieve the highest possible heating efficiency and comfort. The space where you spend most of your time will be warmest, while bedrooms and basement (if there is one) will stay cooler. In this way, you will burn less wood than with other ...

Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the stove, split to a range of sizes and ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual overnight unless they were fed large pieces of hardwood. That is no longer true. You can successfully heat your home by using the less desirable tree species and give the forest a break at the same time. 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” (400 mm). The pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 1” (25 mm) variation from piece to piece. 3.2.4 PIECE SIZE Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the flames first catch. Logs as small as 3” (75 mm) should be split to encourage drying. 12 _ _____________________________________________________________________________ ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3” to 6” (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes starting and rekindling fires much easier. Often, the firewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split finely enough for convenient stoking. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to dry. 3.2.5 HOW TO DRY FIREWOOD Firewood that is not dry enough to burn is the cause of most complaints about wood stoves. The complaints usually involve a lack of heat and dirty door glass. Here are some things to consider in estimating drying time: •...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 3.2.6 JUDGING FIREWOOD MOISTURE CONTENT You can find out if some firewood is dry enough to burn by using these guidelines: • cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry • as it dries in the sun, the wood turns from white or cream coloured to grey or yellow, • bang two pieces of wood together; seasoned wood sounds hollow and wet wood sounds dull, • dry wood is much lighter in weight than wet wood, • split a piece, and if the fresh face feels warm and dry it is dry enough to burn; if it feels damp, it is too wet, • burn a piece; wet wood hisses and sizzles in the fire and dry wood does not. You could buy a wood moisture meter to test your firewood. 3.3 MANUFACTURED LOGS Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with any chemical ...

This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen (AC01315, sold separately). Make sure the fire screen is properly secured on the stove to avoid any risk of fire. When the fire screen is used, it is important not to leave the stove unattended to respond ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.1 CONVENTIONAL FIRE STARTING The conventional way to build a wood fire is to bunch up 5 to 10 sheets of plain newspaper and place them in the firebox. Next, place 10 or so pieces of fine kindling on the newspaper. This kindling should be very thin; less than 1” (25 mm). Next, place some larger kindling pieces on the fine kindling. Open the air control fully and light the newspaper. If you have a tall, ...
Osburn 2000 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. 4.3.4 USING FIRE STARTERS Many people like to use commercial fire starters instead of newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are specialized flammable solid chemicals. Follow the package directions for use. Gel starter may be used but only if there are no hot embers present. Use only in a cold firebox to start a fire. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL, OR ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual IF YOU MUST OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE FUEL IS FLAMING, OPEN THE AIR CONTROL FULLY FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN UNLATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR SLOWLY. 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 stove is relatively cool, but there is still some chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the stove and prevent it from coming into the room. After ashes have been removed from the stove and placed in a tightly covered metal container, they should be taken outside immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non‐combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible materials pending final ...
Osburn 2000 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. Firing each load of wood hot accomplishes a few things: • drives the surface moisture from the wood, • creates a layer of char on the wood, which slows down its release of smoke, • heats the firebox components so they reflect heat back to the fire, and • heats the chimney so it can produce strong, steady draft for the rest of the cycle. Although it is important to fire each new load hot to prepare for a clean burn, do not allow the fire to burn at full intensity for more than a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING FIRED HOT. When you burn a new load of wood hot to heat up the wood, the stove and the chimney, the ...
Osburn 2000 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 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 ...
Page 21
Osburn 2000 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. A densely built fire like this will produce the longest burn your stove is capable of. You will need to be cautious when building fires like this because if the air is turned down too ...

Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6.5 North‐South Fires Versus East‐West Fires In fireboxes that are roughly square, wood can be loaded so that looking through the glass door you see the ends of the logs (north‐south) or the sides of the logs (east‐west). East‐west loads that are built compactly break down slowly when heated, but the amount of wood you can load is limited because if you put in too many pieces, one may fall against the glass. East‐ west loads are excellent for long, low output fires for relatively mild weather. North‐south loads break down more quickly, but much more wood can be loaded at a time. This makes north‐south loading good for high output, long lasting fires for cold weather. 22 _ _____________________________________________________________________________ ...
Osburn 2000 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. You should always replace defective parts with original parts (see Appendix 9: Exploded Diagram and Parts List). For firing each load hot to begin a cycle as ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.2 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. Airtightness can be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To adjust: 1. Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("wise grip"). 2. Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure. 3. Re‐install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer. 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 ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.4 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 and clips. Lift out the glass and pull off the old gasket. This is a good time to clean the glass thoroughly. 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. Peel off more of the backing and ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.5 CLEANING AND PAINTING THE STOVE Do not attempt to clean or paint the stove 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. If the paint becomes scratched or damaged, you can give your wood stove a brand new look by repainting it with heat‐resistant paint. Before painting, roughen the surface with fine sand paper, wipe it down to remove dust, and apply two thin coats of paint. For best results, use the same paint that was originally used on the stove, which is available in spray cans. See your dealer for ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.2.3 CLEANING THE CHIMNEY Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job.

Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8 THE VENTING SYSTEM 8.1 GENERAL The venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the chimney, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the stove and chimney connector into the chimney is not waste heat. This heat is what the chimney uses to make the draft that draws in combustion air, keeps smoke inside the stove and safely vents exhaust to outside. You can think of heat in the flue gas as the fuel the chimney uses to make draft. 8.2 SUITABLE CHIMNEYS Your wood stove will provide optimum efficiency and performance when connected to a 6‐inch ...

The total length of ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8.3 MINIMUM CHIMNEY HEIGHT The top of the chimney should be tall enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than any roof line or obstacle within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.). 8.4 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CHIMNEY AND THE HOUSE ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual Good System Design Inferior System Design Inside chimneys are preferred because even when Outside chimneys are a problem because no fire is burning, there is normally upward flow in when no fire burns they will go into cold the system. backdraft if the stove is installed low in the house. 8.4.2 WHY THE CHIMNEY 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. If there is no fire burning in a heater connected to a chimney that is shorter than the warm space inside the house, the slight negative pressure low in the house will compete against the desired upward flow in the chimney. ...
Osburn 2000 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. However, to protect against the risk of smoke spillage due to house depressurization, a carbon monoxide (CO) detector/alarm is required in the room in which the stove is installed. The CO detector will provide warning if for any reason the wood stove fails to function correctly. 8.5.1 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY IN MOBILE HOMES Only a wood stove certified and labelled as ‘mobile home approved’ may be installed in a mobile home. This Osburn 2000 stove is ‘mobile home approved’. Wood stoves installed in mobile homes must have a ducted supply of combustion air from outdoors. This air supply should be routed ...
Osburn 2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8.6 INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY CONNECTOR The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar and the chimney breech. Single wall pipe components are available from most hardware and building supply stores. These components are not usually tested to a particular standard and certified as compliant. Therefore, a list of rules found in solid fuel installation codes apply to the installation of single wall pipe. Double wall chimney connectors are tested and certified. The rules for double wall pipe are found in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. These rules will be very different than those for single wall. 8.6.1 INSTALLATION OF SINGLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR The chimney connector assembly has been called ‘the weak link’ in the safety of wood heating ...
