Does anybody know where the outside air kit goes on an Osburn 2300 if it can at all?
 
There is an outside air kit made for the stove part # AC02080.

They do like to charge a lot for the options.

Two points about your idea. First, do you even need outside air? Second, if it's not positively attached to the stove, it'll just be a hole in the house allowing cold air in when the stove is not in use.

If you need outside air, try to get a good connection to the stove intake to prevent opening a gaping hole in the house. I'm sure you could fabricate a substitute for the factory kit based on the diagram, probably using off the shelf components, at a considerable cost savings.
