After some delays in shipping, our new Osburn 2400 is finally installed. This is definitely one big stove. Can't use it quite yet, inspector should be out tomorrow. Maybe we can finally get it above 60° in here.

Also came with a free electric log splitter. Nothing special, but I can't complain when it was free.

That's a handsome stove. What is the big black circle behind the stove pipe? Is that the thimble and is the stove not connected to it.

Congrats, setup looks nice. I almost pulled the trigger on this one myself. 60 deg. will be a distant memory in no time.

Awesome! Congratulations. We have been very happy with the insert version of that unit. It's a heating beast! You may soon be wearing shorts with in the winter. How many square feet are you heating with the 2400?

Yes, it's the thimble. Everything is all connected and ready to go, I guess the angle I took the picture makes it look odd.

Make sure there's an uphill pitch on the horiz. section of connector toward the chimney. It should have at least a 1/4" per ft. pitch uphill.
 
How many sqft. Are you going to heat with that anyway. Looks like a real clean install
 
Thanks for the tips everyone. Inspector was out today and signed off on it. I stopped after work and picked up a probe thermometer, and installed it before firing up the stove. Checked the pitch on the horizontal pipe and it does have the proper uphill slope. Next thing I need to get is a moisture meter.

Here's the first fire:

We have nearly 3000 square feet between the basement and the main level. We're not expecting to keep the entire house super warm, but at least we will really cut down on our propane usage and not have to freeze like we have been.
 
Nice fire. We're heating 2600 right now with a buck27000 does a nice job of keeping it 75-80 . Want something with better burn times
 
Depending on your house layout and your insulation you should be ok. I'm trying to heat 4400 combined on two floors with the same stove. Almost does it.

NS burning eh, Works best for me to.
 
You like that Stove quality wise then. Do you have a blower on it and if so is it noisy. How long of a burn are you getting out of it. I'm writing a book lol.

It seems to be a well built unit. The blower is pretty quiet on low but pretty noisy if it's turned up to high.

Not getting very good burn times so far, but I'm still new to this and have a lot to learn yet. I'm sure with some experience I'll get longer burns. Some good seasoned oak would help too. What I have now is mostly birch and ash.
 
I'm burning seasoned oak , beech and hickory . Moisture meters are a good thing , but my stove isn't that picky.
