Osburn Inspire 2000 insert: a wide glass door for a clear fire view
The Osburn Inspire 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. It has clean straight lines and a wide 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. It burns dry, seasoned firewood. It meets the current EPA clean air rules. A faceplate is the flat panel that closes the gap between the insert and the fireplace opening. On the page you pick a wide cuttable plate you trim to fit, or one of two narrow plates for a smaller opening. NightFlame glass is a dark glass that hides the inside of the firebox when the fire is out and turns clear when it burns. It is optional on the page. An outside air kit, which feeds the fire air from outdoors, is optional. You can add a glass hearth pad or a log holder, and more on the page. Prefer a square door? See the Osburn Matrix wood insert. The Osburn Inspire 2000 insert ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Is this an insert or a freestanding stove?
This listing is the Inspire 2000 wood insert (OB02045): it installs inside an existing masonry fireplace and, per Osburn’s warning, never in a wooden or combustible structure. The freestanding Inspire 2000 stove is a separate product; browse our Osburn fireplace inserts for the other insert sizes.
Which faceplate should I choose?
The faceplate is a required selection on this page: the 32 x 50 inch cuttable faceplate ships as standard, while the 30 x 25 1/8 inch narrow U-shape and 30 x 26 7/8 inch narrow 4-sided faceplates are offered for tighter openings. Measure your fireplace against the dimensions in the owner’s manual before choosing.
What is the NightFlame ceramic glass option?
Robax NightFlame ceramic glass changes appearance when the fire goes out, concealing the interior of the insert when it is not in use while still giving a clear view of the flames when it burns. On this insert it is an upgrade, offered as the Nightflame Black Glass option on this page.
How much space can it heat?
The recommended heating area is 500 to 2,100 square feet, with a maximum heat output of 75,000 BTU/h and up to 8 hours of burn time from its 2.4 cubic foot firebox. Osburn recommends dry cordwood cut to 16 inches to achieve those published figures.
How efficient is it?
Osburn rates the Inspire at 79% optimum overall efficiency, with 72% average overall efficiency (HHV) and a particulate emissions rate of 2.3 g/h from its high-performance combustion system, which is why the page calls it a favorite of environmentally minded wood heaters.
Do I need a chimney liner or a fresh air kit?
Both depend on your chimney, your home and local code, as set out in the owner’s manual. If required, both are available on this page: a Liner Hook Up System and Offset Liner Adapter under Liners & Adapters, and a 5-inch intake kit, insulated flex pipe and airtight-damper register under Fresh Air Intake.
