I am now the proud owner of a 3.2 cf beast! Here's the proof

Installed my new Osburn 2400 insert. Man this thing is a beast! Here's some pics of the first fire. Big difference from the Napoleon 1101. I love the 1101 it's a great stove, just a little small for my house. Loving the huge firebox of the Oz. The heat this thing puts out is incredible.

Bigger is always better! Enjoy the long load times and the easier morning restarts.

Good for you. That is a nice looking insert.

Very sharp unit there!

Great looking install and burn. Enjoy it.

That really looks nice. Some inserts don't look right, yours does. Good job.

Thats a HUGE Firebox for an insert. There are very few things (in my opinion) better for the soul than to wake up to a warm house knowing that a wood fire kept the family comfy all night.

Flame shot looks nice. Belongs in a brochure! Enjoy!!

Glad to hear somebody else has a 2400 insert and is as happy as I am. I only have pine which burns fast and for some reason have a really strong draft with a 15' chimney, I did insulate the liner. I had several nights where I loaded it up to the max and it would get up to 750° for a couple hours on the lowest air setting.

I found a screw that keeps the air adjustment from going in all the way. For the heck of it I removed it and now I can close the air down another 3/6" it makes a huge difference. Now I have 600° stove top temps when I load it to the max and my burn time went way up. The glass is still clean except for some white haze after 3 days and still no visible smoke out the chimney.

I do however have to wait until the temp is up to about 550° before closing the air all the way. Before removing that screw I could close it as far as it would go at 400°. After removing the screw if I closed it down at 400° the secondaries would go out and it would smolder. If you have a tall chimney and want longer burn times you might play with it and see if you can get even better burn times.

My old cat stove had a firebox that was 4" taller than this one and 3" deeper yet this stove puts out a lot more heat and I have burned a lot less wood. The only thing I have run into is the fan vibrating on occasion. A couple washers wedged between the blower unit and the hearth solved that.

DaFattKidd, nice looking insert, happy burning.

Yeah behind the fan unit right where the air control rod goes in. There is a piece of steel plate that the air control is attached to and the screw is on the left side of that. It is hard to see but you can feel it with your fingers. It is a hex head screw so you can get at it with a wrench.

DaFattKidd,
Congrats on the new insert! I too just ordered an Osburn 2400 and it should arrive in a week or so. I posted a question that no one has answered yet so I was hoping you could help me out! I thought I read somewhere that this unit had a thermodisc on the fan assembly that only allowed the fan to run when the stove was warm. However, when I looked into it again I could not find/verify it. Can you tell me if this is the case or will the fan run anytime it is switched on?

Thanks!

Mine does not have a therm on the blower. It would not be hard to wire in though. I burn mine 24/7 in the winter months so I don't really need one.

Thanks Burleymike!

I have noticed in pictures that it has two switches. What are they for? I assume one is high/low/off but what is the other?

DaFattKidd,
I can't wait to get mine up and running! What size house are you heating? You said it is drafty but is it a fairly open floorplan? Does the room the insert is in get too warm?

LOOKS GOOD

There's no kill...like over-kill

Man it is so nice having too much stove. I barely fill it up most of the time. I can let it cycle nice and long and still have a ton of coals in there.

An added bonus is it's much easier to maintain for my wife who is home most days. She's becoming quite the little wood burner.

The statement "it's too warm in here" is easier to remedy than "I'm cold".

That looks really, really, sweet, D


Good for you
