#1 The Osburn Wood Stove Legacy and Quality
One of the best aspects of Osburn wood stoves is their Canadian and North American roots. These stoves are crafted without unnecessary add-ons, offering a no-nonsense design with impressive durability.
Every Osburn stove is built to withstand years of consistent use, featuring high-density fire bricks for extended heat radiation, military-grade steel air tubes, and ceramic baffles—materials known for exceptional heat retention and longevity. This ensures you have a reliable, efficient, and durable heating source.
#2 Unmatched Durability and Performance
The Osburn stoves are crafted with premium-grade materials. They come with high-density fire bricks that help retain heat for longer periods, and their steel components are as durable as they come, nearly capable of withstanding gun-barrel-level stress.
Each Osburn model also meets EPA standards, with the 2020 emission threshold set at 1.6 grams of particulate per hour, meaning minimal smoke emissions.
#3 Easy Maintenance and Practical Features
Maintenance is straightforward with Osburn stoves. The integrated ash lip and ash drawer make cleaning hassle-free, preventing ash spillage and enabling easy disposal. The design is customizable, allowing for trim choices from satin black to polished stainless or even gold.
Additionally, the heat exchanger on models like the Osburn 2000 optimally directs warm air throughout your room, ensuring comprehensive heating for your entire space.
Some neat technical elements of the Osburn
- Horizontal Venting Capability: The Osburn lineup allows venting up to 10 feet horizontally, an uncommon feature among non-catalytic stoves. This is particularly beneficial for installations where vertical venting isn't feasible.
- Afterburn System: Unlike catalytic stoves, Osburn stoves use an afterburn system that enhances combustion efficiency. This system reduces the risk of blockages, making it a low-maintenance option for users who want less upkeep over time.
- High-Grade Ceramic Baffle: The Osburn stoves feature a ceramic baffle made from space-grade material, which contributes to their high heat retention capabilities. This baffle helps trap heat, maximizing radiant warmth inside the home rather than letting it escape up the chimney.
- Heat Exchanger Design: The Osburn 2000’s heat exchanger is specifically shaped to optimize airflow. Paired with an integrated blower, this design forces warm air efficiently throughout the room, enhancing overall heating distribution.
- Ash Lip and Ash Lip Cover: Certain models, like the Osburn 2000, come with a convenient ash lip cover. This cover provides a refined, clean look and helps prevent ash from spilling onto the floor when adding or removing logs.
- Mobile Home Approval and Secure Floor Legs: Most of the Osburn lineup is approved for mobile homes and ALVE installations. They also come with secure legs that can be fastened to the floor, ensuring a safe, stable setup in mobile homes and other sensitive areas.
- Clearance to Combustibles: Osburn stoves have some of the lowest clearance requirements on the market, allowing them to be placed closer to walls and combustibles than many competing stoves, which offers increased flexibility in tight spaces.Â
