Osburn Matrix insert: a wood insert with a big square door
The Osburn Matrix 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 a modern look, a big square door, and an easier door latch. 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. Nothing is required on the page beyond the insert itself. Depending on your opening you may need backing plates, flat steel panels that fill the space around the insert, and they are 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 and a glass hearth pad, and more on the page. Prefer a traditional look? See the Osburn Matrix 2700 wood insert. The Osburn Matrix insert ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Where can the Matrix wood insert be installed?
Only inside an existing masonry fireplace. Osburn’s warning states wood-burning inserts must never go into a wooden or combustible structure, and every installation must follow the data and drawings detailed in the owner’s manual. If you have a factory-built fireplace instead of masonry, contact us before ordering.
What does the optional projection kit require?
To install the projection kit AC01323, one of the faceplate backing plate kits AC01322 or AC01332 must also be purchased to secure the projection kit to it. Both pieces are available on this page, under Fresh Air & Projection Kits and Faceplates, Doors & Overlays, so order them together.
What if the faceplate does not cover my hearth opening?
Osburn notes that adding a set of intermediate trim panels may be required to complete your masonry hearth. This page also offers 29 x 44 and 29 x 50 inch faceplate backing plates and 44 or 50 inch bottom backing plates, so wider or taller openings can be finished cleanly.
How efficient is the Matrix insert?
It runs at an optimal efficiency of 79% with an average particle emission rate of 2.3 g/h, figures Osburn achieved in tuning this firebox to the industry standards required for 2020. Average overall efficiency is 72% (HHV) on dry cordwood, with 16-inch logs recommended.
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 a burn time of up to 8 hours. That capacity places it in the core of the Osburn fireplace insert range, sized for typical living areas.
Do I need a chimney liner for it?
Venting requirements come from the owner’s manual and your local code. If a liner connection is needed for your chimney, a Liner Hook Up System and an Offset Liner Adapter are offered as add-ons on this page under Liners & Adapters, so everything can arrive in one shipment.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent
MP
Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
