Section 1.0 - Installation
When installed and operated as described in these instructions, the Osburn Model 2200 Bay Wood Stove is
suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in either residential or mobile home installations.
The Model 2200 is not intended for installation in a bedroom.
In Canada the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment andthe CSA
C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements. In
the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 National Electrical Code and NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements.
In addition to the national installation codes, local building and/or fire officials (or other authorities having
jurisdiction) should be contacted to determine what restrictions and installation requirements might locally
apply.
1.1 General Installation
1. Proper ventilation is required.
2. Do not connect this unit to any air distribution duct.
3. Connect the stove only to a lined masonry chimney conforming to national and local building
codes for use with solid fuel, or to a listed factory built chimney suitable for use with solid fuel.
Clearances To Combustibles
Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly out from the front and up from the top of
The stove must be a minimum of 48" (1219 mm). The stove must also be placed so as to maintain
the minimumclearances to combustible walls specified for the connector used. (See Table 1.1 and
Figure 1.1).

1.2.1 REDUCED CLEARANCES
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the
ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can
include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not morethan3" (76 mm)between the bottomof the
shield and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the shield and the ceiling
must be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield. The shield must extend 20"
(500 mm) above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each side of the stove (see Graphic 1).
Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove
certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.

1.3 Residential Installation Instructions
Choose a location for the unit which meets the minimum clearances to combustibles (see Table 1.1). For
other than masonry chimneys determine if the factory built chimney will pass between the ceiling joists; if
not, choose a new location so that it will, while still maintaining the minimum clearances.
1. Mark the location for the floor protection‡(if required) as noted in Figure 1.1.
Note:If outside air for combustion is to be used it should be provided for at this time. This requires that the
Osburn Fresh Air Kit Wood (#OA10500) be installed (refer to the installation instructions which are
provided in the outside air kit. Install the unit.
Floor Protection Requirements (for combustible floors)
If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor it must be guarded by a non-combustible
material extending beneath the heater and to the front and sides as indicated in Figure 1.1, or to the nearest
permitted combustible material. Floor protection must extend beneath, and 2” (51 mm) to the sides of a
horizontal connector if one has been used.
Please note that floor protection is required for spark and ash shielding, but not for limiting floor
temperatures from the radiant heat of the stove. The stove was designed and safety tested so that without
any protection the floor would not overheat even under over firing conditions. Please refer to local codes
for suitable floor protection materials.

10
1.4 Manufactured (Mobile) Home Installations – Additional Requirements
1. The stove must be bolted to the floor (secure the unit by prying out the two plastic plugs in the
pedestal, and installing the two 3/8" x 3-1/2" (9.8mm x 88.9mm) lag bolts through the holes
provided).
2. The unit must be provided with outside combustion air (pedestal model only).
3. Clearance from the top of stove to an unprotected ceiling should be a minimum of
52” (1321mm).
Note:For manufactured home installations in the USA, the stove must be grounded to the frame of
the home using a # 8 ground wire with approved terminations and star lock washers.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR,WALL,CEILING /
ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
CAUTION:DO NOT INSTALL IN ASLEEPING ROOM.
1.5 Chimney System
1.5.1 Definitions
For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions:
A chimney system consists of the connector off the top of the stove, and a chimney, which joins to the
connector and terminates outside the building envelope.
A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry construction with an inside liner), or a factory
built chimney.
A factory built chimney can be a double walled chimney (two concentric pipes with insulation
sometimes referred to as an insulated solid pack, or an air cooled chimney (three concentric pipes,
with insulation between the first and second pipes, and air between the second and third pipes).
A single walled connector is a single pipe.
A double walled connector has two concentric pipes, no insulation, and is an air cooled connector.

11
1.5.2 Components
NOTE:All connector and manufactured chimney components must be LISTED COMPONENTS.
Masonry Chimneys must be Code Complying, and have a listed solid fuel burning liner (of stainless
steel or clay refractory construction).
1.5.2.1 Factory Built Chimney System
The following are the generic components required for a factory built chimney system for
residential installations:
Chimney – in the USA use a 6” diameter (152 mm) listed UL 103 HT chimney system and
components
Chimney – in Canada use 6” diameter (152 mm) listed ULC S629 chimney system and components
Manufactured (Mobile) Home Chimney System
In addition to the requirements of section 1.5.2.1 the following components are required for
manufactured (mobile) home installations:
A spark arrestor must be employed with the rain cap
Double walled connectors must be used instead of single walled connectors
For manufactured (mobile) home installations in the USA only and where the chimney system has
employed a solid pack chimney, a vented roof flashing must also be used.
1.5.2.3 Residential Close Clearances Chimney System
In addition to the requirements of section 1.5.2.1 the following components are required for
residential close clearances installations:
Double walled connectors must be used instead of single walled connectors
1.5.3 General Installation Requirements
CAUTION:DO NOT FILL ANY FRAMED SPACE AROUND THE FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEY WITH
INSULATION OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL.INSULATION PLACED IN THIS AREA COULD CAUSE ADJACENT
COMBUSTIBLES TO OVERHEAT.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION AS THEY MAY BE SAFETY HAZARDS,
AND AFIRE COULD RESULT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO ACHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT CUT RAFTERS OR CEILING JOISTS WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING ABUILDING OFFICIAL TO
ENSURE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS NOT COMPROMISED.

12
1.5.3.1 Connectors
The minimumconnector diameter is 6" (152 mm). A minimum connector length of 4 ft (1.22 m) is
recommended for best results. Restrictions to stack gas flow (such as using more than two 90o
elbows) should be avoided and any horizontal runs should be kept to a minimumlength, especially
with short chimneys. The connector pipe, which joins the unit to the chimney, may be of either
single or double walled construction. Connector pipe should be a minimum of 24-gauge steel.
The connector pipe itself must not pass through any combustibles, nor may it pass through non-
combustibles and into a concealed space (such as an attic, roof space, or closet). If passing through
a wall, ceiling, or into a masonry chimney, use either chimney components listed for that specific
use, or means acceptable to local authorities having jurisdiction over the installation.
Install sections of single wall or double wall connector between the stove and the chimney. Secure
all connector pipe joints with a minimum of three sheet metal screws. All connector and factory
built chimney pipes must be installed with the male or crimped end down to prevent creosote
dripping outside the joints. If non-telescopic sections are to be used, they must be cut to length,
allowing for overlap. Use three (3) screws to attach the connector section to the flue collar of the
stove. Listed double walled connectors should be installed in accordance with the vent
manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Avoid 90 degree eblows
We recommend that you use
two 45 degree elbows instead

13
1.5.3.2 Chimney Systems
The minimum chimney size is 6" (152 mm) in diameter. The minimum overall height of the
chimney system, measured from the base of the appliance is 12' (3.66m). Existing masonry and
metal chimneys should be inspected to check for deterioration and to determine if they meet the
minimum installation requirements; they should be upgraded if necessary. In Canada, masonry
chimneys must have or use a ULC S635 listed Class III liner in chimney systems that are not ULC
S629 listed. Similarly in the USA a UL 1777 listed refractory or metallic liner must be used. At
the point of penetration through the roof to the outside of the building envelope, the chimney must
extend at least 3' (914 mm) above the roof and at least 2' (610 mm) above the highest point within
an area of 10' (3 m) of the chimney (see Figure 1.3).
Follow CSA Standard B365-M91 for methods and precautions to be employed when connecting
the stove to a masonry chimney, and for installingthimbles (wall penetration assemblies) when the
connection from the stove to the masonry chimney is made through a combustible wall.
When connecting to a factory built chimney, ensure that it is installed according to the
manufacturer's listed instructions. If using an existing chimney, inspect and clean the chimney if
required (this should be done by a licensed chimney sweep or a qualified professional).
Figure 1.3 – Chimney height

14
1.5.3.3 Exterior Chimney
Chimneys constructed outside of the home on an exterior wall should be avoided if possible,
especially in colder climates. Exterior chimneys may not draft well and in fact may down draft
(reverse flow) due to the difficulty in heating them up to operating temperature while trying to
evacuate the stack gases. All else being equal, cooler chimneys will have less draft than hotter
ones; this may lead to creosoting and poor performance. If an exterior chimney is used to remove
the stack gases the best results will be obtained by using a connector vertically off the unit to the
highest possible point before elbowing off horizontally to the chimney. For efficiency and safety
reasons the stove must not be installed with an insulated chimney connected directly to the
appliance.

15
1.5.3.4 Draft
Your Osburn stove will attain its best performance if installed with a chimney system that has
proper draft. (Draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is
predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, and the stack temperatures of
the stove). If you test the draft using a pressure gauge, the reading should be between .05 - .07
inches of water column (w.c.) at a medium high fire. (See Table 2.2). Drafts of less than .03" w.c.
will cause operation difficulty while too much draft (greater than .10" w.c.) will result in over-
firing of the stove. This can result in excessive operating temperatures. If this is the case, a manual
damper may be installed in the vertical connector pipe to help reduce excessive draft.
Figure 1.4 Connection to a Masonry Chimney (Exterior Shown)
1.5.4 Typical Types of Chimney Systems
There are basically two types of chimney systems; one employs an existing masonry chimney,
while the other employs a manufactured or factory built chimney. In either system the chimney
may be of an interior or an exterior type. The following illustrations are provided to demonstrate
the basic components required for a proper and safe installation. The components identified may
not appear exactly as those purchased – the manufacturers’ installation instructions and specified
clearance distances should always be followed in accordance with local and national installation
codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. In the
USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.

Section 2.0 - Operation
2.1 Safety Information
1. This stove is designed for safe operation WHEN BURNING CORDWOOD ONLY. Altering or modifying
the unit or installation without proper authorisation will void the certification, warranty, and safety
listing, and may result in a safety hazard.
2. For safety reasons, never leave the unit unattended with the door open or ajar. An open door, and
especially a door partially open or cracked, if left for longer than required for good ignition can
potentially result in unsafe chimney temperatures, and if left unattended in hot embers or ignited
fuel falling out of the unit. Prolonged door open operation is not necessary provided the unit has
been properly installed and dry kindling is used to start the fire.
3. Do not abuse the unit, either by over firing or by using wood or combustibles with salt content, or
harmful chemicals. Misuse is not covered by warranty.
4. Even though your Osburn has been specifically designed and tested to prevent smoke spillage,
always open the door slowly as this will minimise the likelihood of smoke spillage or a back draft
of flame or smoke into the room.
5. Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or inflammable
liquids to start or "freshen" a fire in the stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove
while it is in use.
6. All stove surfaces become very hot during operation. Care is needed, especially with children, to
avoid contacting these surfaces.
7. Do not elevate the fire by means of grates.
8. CAUTION:DO NOT OVER FIRE THIS HEATER.Do not burn fuel in the stove at a rate higher than that
which will cause the ember bed level to exceed half the door opening height. If burning hot fires
regularly, purchase a stovetop thermometer, and do not exceed 840oF (450oC) as measured on the
Cook top. If the door handle of the stove becomes excessively hot to the touch, consider this to be
an indication of over firing. Over firing can result in a safety hazard and can permanently damage
the stove and chimney. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
9. Although the ceramic glass is extremely durable under any normal use, a few precautions are
required. Do not attempt to push logs further into the fire by using the door, as the glass may break
if any solid object heavily contacts it.
10. Never operate the stove with the door open, or cracked slightly open, except briefly during
the lighting operation, and during refuelling. Leaving the door open continuously could seriously
overheat the chimney and adjacent combustibles. Do not operate the stove if there is an abnormal

18
air leakage into the stove, such as through deteriorated gaskets or cracked or broken glass. Do not
operate the stove without a door gasket. Leakage can result in overheating, or in very airtight
homes, could possibly cause smoking into the room. Smoke may contain carbon monoxide, which
is poisonous, and in sufficient quantities is a health hazard.
2.2 Fuel
1. Fuel for the stove must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles and not in
the space required for charging and ash removal.
2. Your Osburn stove is designed to burn CORDWOOD FUEL ONLY. Do not burn coal, charcoal, or trash
in the unit. Highly flammable items such as trash may ignite creosote in the chimney, resulting in a
chimney fire. Never burn salt wood, beach wood, chemically treated wood, or wood removed from
salt water, since the deposits left will deteriorate the firebox. Damage caused by chemicals or salt is
not covered under warranty.
3. Seasoned dense wood is recommended. Wood should be air dried in a covered ventilated area for
six months to a year or more. This reduces the moisture content of the wood, resulting in better
stove performance. Wood species with moisture content of 20% or less are ideal. Dry seasoned
wood can be distinguished from green wood by the checks or cracks in the ends.
4. Wet or green wood will tend to cause the fire to smoulder, producing large amounts of creosote.
Creosote buildup could result in a chimney fire. This wood will also prove difficult to keep
burning properly, and fires will tend to go out. Green wood produces very little heat, and
sometimes causes customers to think that the stove does not work. If you must burn wet wood, use
only small amounts mixed with dry wood.
5. Decayed wood or low-density wood has very little energy content or heating value, and will not
burn satisfactorily for long periods of time.
An example of the energy values of some common wood fuels is given in Table 2.1
For recommended wood sizes, refer to the specifications.
Table 2.1 Common Heating Values of Cordwood
Hardwoods Million Btu/Cord Softwoods Million Btu/Cord
Birch 23.6 Douglas Fir 20.6
White Oak 28.3 Hemlock 17.1
Alder 17.6 Jack Pine 18.4

19
2.2.1 Simple Wood Moisture Test
Add one large piece of wood to the top of an established fire. If it starts to burn on three sides.
Within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning. If it turns black and starts to
burn.
In three minutes, it is damp. If it turns black and does not start burning until after five minutes, it
Is green and wet. If it hisses at any time the wood is soaked and will not burn until excess
moisture is boiled away.
2.3 Notes About First Firing
Before firing ensure that the room is well ventilated. Curing the paint is recommended to preserve
the best quality finish. Heating the stove up too intensely on the first fire will dull and lighten the
colour on overheated areas, and cause smoke and odour to be emitted into the room. To cure the
paint, the first two fires should be burned for only about twenty minutes each.
Allow the stove to get warm only but not hot, i.e. 250oF (120oC) as measured by a stovetop
thermometer, and allow the stove to cool down. Light a third fire and burn it for about forty
minutes to 450oF (230oC) or less. Once again cool the stove to room temperature, then operate it
according to the following instructions. This extra care will result in a more durable, and uniform
finish.
2.4 Lighting A Fire
1. Place enough crumpled balls of newspaper or other paper into the stove to cover the
bottom of the firebox.
2. Place small dry kindling on the crumpled paper.
3. Place larger dry kindling on top of the small kindling.
4. Open the draft control fully to the right (located on the front of the stove, Figure 2.1)
5. Light a fire at the bottom of the crumpled paper and close the door. If the fire tends to go
out, momentarily hold the door slightly ajar to fan the fire. As soon as the fire catches hold,
close the door.
6. Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At
that point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the
fire is well established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by
moving the handle to the left to adjust the intensity of the fire.
