Heating - Osburn 1600 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 move it completely to the right, it is
fully open. If you move it completely to the left, it is fully close.
Your OSBURN stove burnt between .979 kg\h and 3.517 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.
