Heating - Osburn 1800 Owner's Manual

HEATING

Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables you to
select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn slowly if the wood
stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to a
minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit a larger
quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. The air intake control on your stove is very simple. If
you push it completely to the righ, it is fully open. If you push it fully to the left, the combustion air is
reduced to a minimum.
Your OSBURN stove may burn differently according to the species of wood used, its moisture
content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the flue, the altitude, and outside
temperature.
