Osburn 2000 EPA 2020 Wood Stove with Blower
Up to 8 hours on one load. The Osburn 2000 (OB02015) is an EPA 2020-certified non-catalytic wood stove with a 2.4 cubic foot firebox rated up to 75,000 BTU/hr on dry cordwood at 79% optimum efficiency and 2.3 g/h, for 500 to 2,100 square feet. It takes 20-inch logs behind a cast-iron door with a 17-1/8" x 10-1/4" ceramic-glass view, vents through a 6-inch chimney, and ships with its 130 CFM variable-speed blower. It is approved for mobile-home and alcove installation. The door overlay and the base — legs or a pedestal — complete it above and are priced on top; from $2,859 for the stove alone.
Choose the 2000 if you heat the main living area of a mid-size home with wood and want to finish the stove to suit the room: a black or brushed nickel door overlay, and traditional or straight cast-iron legs in black or brushed nickel, or a pedestal — every base with its own ash drawer. The blower is already in the box, the firebox takes 16-inch logs loaded east-west (20-inch at most), and one load runs up to 8 hours. A quick-connect thermodisc, sold separately, lets the blower start and stop by itself.
It is not right for a small room or a very large open house: the recommended range is 500 to 2,100 square feet. It is installed as a freestanding stove only, never in a factory-built fireplace, and in a mobile home it cannot go in a bedroom. In the United States it runs with the door closed; open-door burning with a fire screen is not permitted. It needs a 6-inch chimney at least 12 feet tall that serves no other appliance, 16 inches from a combustible side wall and 48 inches clear in front, and a non-combustible floor protector on any combustible floor.
Specifications
With a single-wall connector the 2000 sits 16 inches from a combustible side wall, 11 inches from the back wall and 10 inches from the walls in a corner (USA); a listed double-wall connector brings the back to 6 inches and the corner to 7 inches, with the side unchanged. Leave 48 inches clear in front and at least 84 inches from the floor to the ceiling. On a combustible floor, the non-combustible floor protector runs 16 inches in front of the door opening and 8 inches beyond each side of it. The chimney is 6 inches — a UL 103HT factory-built chimney or a lined masonry chimney — at least 12 feet tall and 3 feet above the roof, reached through a 6-inch chimney connector. Lowered-ceiling, alcove and mobile-home layouts have their own clearance tables on pages 40 and 41 of the installation manual, and a certified heat shield or a wall shield can reduce clearances (see section 7.4 on page 43).

Answers to common questions
What chimney does the Osburn 2000 need, and is any of it included?
None of the venting is in the box. The 2000 has a 6-inch flue collar and vents into a 6-inch factory-built chimney for solid fuel listed to UL 103HT (2100 °F), or into a code-approved masonry chimney with a clay or listed stainless liner — an oversized masonry flue gets a listed 6-inch stainless liner. The chimney runs at least 12 feet, 3 feet above the roof and 2 feet above anything within 10 feet, and serves no other appliance. Between the stove and the chimney goes a 6-inch chimney connector: black single-wall pipe at least 24 gauge thick with no more than 10 feet of horizontal run and two 90° elbows, or a listed double-wall connector, which also cuts the clearances. The full venting rules are in section 8, starting on page 46 of the installation manual.
How close can it sit to a wall or in a corner?
In the USA, with a single-wall connector: 16 inches from a combustible side wall, 11 inches from the back wall and 10 inches from each wall in a corner. With a listed double-wall connector: 16 inches at the side, 6 inches at the back and 7 inches in a corner. Keep 48 inches clear in front and at least 84 inches from the floor to the ceiling. Lowered-ceiling, alcove and mobile-home layouts each have their own clearance table on pages 40 and 41 of the installation manual, and a certified heat shield or a properly built wall shield can reduce the clearances (section 7.4, page 43).

What goes on the floor under the stove?
On a combustible floor the stove needs a non-combustible floor protector — sheet steel at least 0.015 inch thick or ceramic tiles sealed with grout — reaching 16 inches in front of the door opening and 8 inches beyond each side of it in the USA (18 inches in front and 8 inches at the sides and back in Canada), plus under any horizontal run of chimney connector with 2 inches to spare on each side. On a non-combustible floor such as concrete, no protector is needed.
What’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?
-
Included in the box: The stove body with its cast-iron door and 4 mm ceramic glass, firebrick lining, C-Cast baffle and four stainless secondary air tubes; 130 CFM variable-speed blower with HI-LO-OFF rheostat, screwed onto the back of the stove before first use; EPA 2020 certification, UL 1482 / UL 737 / ULC S627 listing and the Osburn limited lifetime warranty.
-
Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: Door Overlay - the black or brushed nickel frame that finishes the front of the cast-iron door; it goes on before the stove is first used; Base - cast-iron traditional or straight legs, or a pedestal, each with its ash drawer; the stove ships without one and always runs with the ash drawer closed; Venting - a 6" listed factory-built chimney (UL 103HT) or a lined masonry chimney, with a 6" chimney connector (see pg 46 in the installation manual); Floor Protection - on a combustible floor, a non-combustible protector 16 inches in front of the door opening and 8 inches beyond each side of it (USA), steel or grouted ceramic tile; Electrical - a 115 V outlet within reach of the blower's 8-foot cord, run so the cord never touches the stove or passes beneath it.
-
Optional: Fresh-air intake kits for the legs or the pedestal, the airtight intake register and insulated flex pipe, a quick-connect thermodisc, a glass ash lip and floor protectors — the stove burns wood fully without any of them.
Is the blower included, and does the stove need electricity?
Yes, the 130 CFM variable-speed blower is included and mounts on the back of the stove. It plugs into a standard 115 V outlet on an 8-foot cord — keep the cord off the stove and never run it underneath. Set it with the HI-LO-OFF knob once the stove has been burning about an hour. The stove itself burns wood without power; only the blower needs it. Add the quick-connect thermodisc if you want the blower to start and stop by itself with the stove's temperature.
Can it go in a mobile home or an alcove?
Yes to both. In a mobile or manufactured home it needs Osburn's fresh-air intake kit (one version for the legs, one for the pedestal) with an insulated intake duct, a double-wall connector only, a 6-inch double-wall factory-built chimney at least 12 feet long, and the stove secured to the structure; it never goes in a sleeping room, and on legs it stands on a non-combustible podium no larger than 30 by 24 inches and at least 2 inches high. An alcove installation uses a double-wall connector and the alcove clearance table on page 41 of the installation manual.
How long does it burn, and what size wood does it take?
Up to 8 hours on a full load of dry cordwood, in Osburn's rating. The 2.4 ft³ firebox takes logs up to 20 inches, and 16-inch pieces loaded east-west — the long sides facing the glass — are what it is designed and EPA-tested for. Burn only seasoned wood at 15 to 20% moisture, never on a grate, and no more than two 100% compressed-sawdust logs at a time; the warranty is void on anything but cordwood.
Does buying from The Torch Guys affect my Osburn warranty?
No. The Torch Guys is an authorized Osburn dealer, and Osburn's limited lifetime warranty runs through your dealer — if you ever need to claim, we deal with Osburn on your behalf. The combustion-chamber welds and the cast-iron door frame are covered for life on parts with 5 years of labour; the ceramic glass for life on parts; the baffle, air tubes, legs, pedestal and ash drawer 7 years; the blower and its controls 2 years. It applies to the original purchaser, lifetime parts are replaced once, installation must be by a qualified technician, and it is void if anything but cordwood is burned. Keep your invoice and the serial number from the plate on the back.
