2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 2.2 ZONE HEATING AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU Your new Osburn 2000‐I wood insert 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 insert. Whole house zone heating works best when the insert 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 insert 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 ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 2.3 THE BENEFITS OF LOW EMISSIONS AND HIGH EFFICIENCY The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside the Osburn 2000‐I firebox mean that your household will release up to 90 percent less smoke into the outside environment than if you used an older conventional stove. But there is more to the emission control technologies than protecting the environment. The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the fuel. By burning the wood completely, your insert releases all the heat energy from the wood instead of wasting it as smoke up the chimney. Also, the features inside the firebox allow you to reduce the air supply to control heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming ...

2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 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 inserts. Continually burning green or unseasoned wood produces more creosote and involves lack of heat and dirty glass door. See Section 5: Maintaining your wood heating system for concerns about ...
2000 Insert 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 colored 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 ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 4 OPERATING YOUR INSERT 4.1 THE USE OF A FIRE SCREEN. This insert 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 insert to avoid any risk of sparks damaging your flooring. When the fire screen is in use, do not leave the insert unattended so that you can respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in Section 9 The Venting System of this manual. See Appendix 6: Installing the Fire Screen (AC01315) for installation instructions. OPERATING WITH THE FIRE SCREEN INCREASES POSSIBILITIES OF GENERATING CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS AN ODOURLESS GAS THAT IS HIGHLY TOXIC AND WHICH ...
2000 Insert 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, ...
2000 Insert 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 ...
2000 Insert 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 insert is relatively cool, but there is still some chimney draft to draw the ash dust into the insert and prevent it from coming into the room. After ashes have been removed from the insert 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 ...
2000 Insert 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 INSERT UNATTENDED WHILE A NEW LOAD IS BEING FIRED HOT. DO NOT OVERFIRE. When you burn a new load of wood hot to heat up the wood, the insert and the chimney, the ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 4.5 FAN OPERATION Allow the insert to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning on the fan, since increased airflow from the fan will remove heat and affect the start‐up combustion efficiency. NOTE: ENSURE THE FAN CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE INSERT TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN CORD BENEATH THE INSERT. The insert's fan is equipped with a heat sensor. Therefore, you can leave the variable speed ...

2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual You will need to be cautious when building fires like this because if the air is turned down too much, the fire could smoulder. Make sure the wood is flaming brightly before leaving the fire to burn. 4.5.1.4 Maximum Burn Cycle Times The burn cycle time is the period between loading wood on a coal bed and the consumption of ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 5 MAINTAINING YOUR WOOD HEATING SYSTEM 5.1 INSERT MAINTENANCE Your new insert 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). Firing each load hot to begin a cycle as described above will not cause premature deterioration of the insert. However, letting the insert run with the air control fully open for the entire burn cycles can cause damage over time. The hotter you run the insert throughout burn cycles, the more quickly its components will deteriorate. For that ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.2 DOOR ADJUSTMENT In order for your insert to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To adjust: 1. Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers. 2. Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure. 3. Re‐install the split 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 ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual Place the door face‐down on something soft like a cushion of rags or piece of carpet. Remove the old gasket from the door by pulling and prying it out with an old screw driver. Then use the screwdriver to scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door. Now run a 1/4” (6 mm) bead of high temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from the middle of the hinge side, press the gasket into the groove. Do not stretch the gasket as you place it. Leave the gasket about 1/2” long when you cut it and press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibres under the gasket and into the silicone. Close the door and do not use the insert for 24 hours. 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 ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual To replace the glass (D), remove the eight screws (A), the eight glass retainers (B), and the metal frames (C).

2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 8.4 POSITIONING THE UNIT It is necessary to have a floor protection made of non‐combustible materials that meets the measurements specified in table FLOOR PROTECTION (see Section 8.5. To determine the need to add floor protection (D) beyond the hearth extension, you must do the following calculation using the data in Table Data for floor protection calculation of this section: D = B ‐ (A ‐ C). If the value (D) is negative or zero, you do not have to add more floor protection in front of the unit, because the masonry fireplace hearth extension is large enough. If the value (D) is positive, you will need floor protection in front of the hearth extension at least equivalent to the result (D). Here is a sample calculation to determine the need to add a non‐combustible materials floor ...
Page 34
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual If the extension of the masonry hearth is raised at least 4" from the floor protection, a non‐ combustible material without an R factor is sufficient. If non‐combustible material floor protection needs to be added in front of and level with the hearth extension of the masonry fireplace, an R factor equal to or greater than 2.00 is required. ...
Page 35
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual There are two ways to calculate the R factor of the floor protection. First, by adding the R‐values of materials used, or by the conversion if the K factor and thickness of the floor protection are given. To calculate the total R factor from R factors of the materials used, simply add the R‐values of materials. If the result is equal to or greater than the R‐value requirements, the combination is acceptable.

2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual 9 THE VENTING SYSTEM 9.1 GENERAL The venting system, made up of the chimney and the liner inside the chimney, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best insert will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney and liner system. The heat in the flue gases that pass from the insert 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 insert and safely vents exhaust to outside. You can think of heat in the flue gas as the fuel the ...
2000 Insert Installation and Operation Manual application is verified and authorized by a qualified installer. Otherwise, the diameter of the flue should be 6 inches. The reduction of liner diameter to less than 6” should only be done if the total height of the masonry chimney is greater than 20 feet. 9.4 LINER INSTALLATION We recommend the use of a chimney liner (rigid or flexible) to ensure satisfactory performance. To ensure an optimal draft, we also strongly recommend adding a minimum of 12” rigid liner between the top of the masonry chimney and the rain cap. In all cases, liners should be installed in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions, including instructions for extension above the masonry. Use Listed Chimney Liners – UL 1777, CAN/ULC S635. In order to connect the insert to the liner, refer to Section 9.5 Chimney liner installation. ...
