Osburn 2000 insert: a masonry fireplace heater with the blower included
The Osburn 2000 insert is a wood insert for an existing masonry fireplace. Osburn rates it for 500 to 2,100 square feet, so it can heat an open living area or most of a smaller house. Steel trim frames the glass door. An insert slides into the fireplace you already have and turns it into a real wood heater. It only goes into a masonry fireplace, the brick or stone kind, never a factory built one. Your chimney will usually need a steel liner run down to the insert, and the liner hookup parts are on the page.
Load it up and turn the air down, and it burns up to 8 hours. At full burn it puts out up to 75,000 BTU. The blower, a quiet fan that pushes the heat out into the room, comes with it. It burns dry, seasoned firewood. It meets the current EPA clean air rules. You pick the door overlay on the page, the trim around the glass door, in black or brushed nickel. A faceplate is the flat panel that closes the gap between the insert and the fireplace opening, and you pick the size on the page, regular or large. The faceplate trims, the finished edge of the faceplate, come in the same two finishes and are picked on the page. An outside air kit, which feeds the fire air from outdoors, is optional. You can add a firescreen for open door fires, a cuttable faceplate you trim to fit an odd shaped opening, and a glass hearth pad, and more on the page. Heating a bigger house?

FAQ
Where can the Osburn 2000 insert be installed?
Only inside an existing masonry fireplace. Osburn’s warning states that wood-burning inserts must never be installed in a wooden or combustible structure, and every installation must follow the data and drawings detailed in the owner’s manual linked on this page.
Is a blower included?
Yes. The insert has a 144-CFM variable speed fan strategically positioned to redistribute heat throughout the room. It comes with the unit rather than as an add-on, working alongside the 2.4 cubic foot combustion chamber that gives this insert its 75,000 BTU/h maximum output.
How large a hearth can the faceplate cover?
The optional faceplate is designed to cover a masonry hearth opening up to 32 inches high and 50 inches wide. On this page the regular faceplate ships as standard and the large size is the upgrade, with matching faceplate trims; a 32 x 50 inch cuttable faceplate is also offered for irregular openings.
What finishes can I choose?
A steel door overlay is available in black or brushed nickel, with faceplate trims offered in the same two finishes. Both are required selections on this page so the insert arrives matched to your decor, and the black overlay is the standard finish at no extra cost.
How clean and efficient is it?
This revamped 2000 was certified against the new standard lowering the fine particulate threshold: it offers a particulate emissions rate of 2.3 g/h, 79% optimum efficiency and 72% average overall efficiency (HHV), with a maximum burn time of 8 hours on dry 16-inch cordwood.
Do I need a chimney liner?
Your owner’s manual and local code set the venting requirements for your chimney. If a liner connection is needed, this page offers a Liner Hook Up System and an Offset Liner Adapter under Liners & Adapters, plus a 5-inch fresh air intake kit and flex pipe if outside combustion air is required.
What area does it heat?
The recommended heating area is 500 to 2,100 square feet, which places it in the core of the Osburn fireplace insert range, sized for typical living areas. Its overall heat output rate spans 14,200 to 44,500 BTU/h depending on the air setting.
