Osburn: 950

A small wood stove for the room or cabin that needs real heat.

Quick Facts

• Heating Capacity: 250–1,200 sq ft (Osburn’s recommended heating area).
• Burn Time: Up to 5 hours
• Efficiency: 80% optimum
• Fuel: Cordwood.
• Fan: Optional (variable-speed blower).

Who It’s For

A small home, cabin, or addition that never quite warms up. You need a wood stove sized for it. The Osburn 950 is for the space Osburn rates at 250 to 1,200 square feet.

What Makes It Special

The 950 is Osburn’s small wood stove, with high-density bricks, a top heat deflector that sends heat out the front, and side panels that reduce its clearances.

Ceramic glass with a self-cleaning glass system keeps the fire in view. It is approved for mobile homes and alcove installations. Osburn backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.

Possible Downsides

• It is a wood fire. You haul and store wood, clean ash, and sweep the chimney.
• Burn time and heating area vary. Osburn notes that the heating area and burn time vary with the home, chimney draft, climate, and fuel.

If you want to heat with wood, the Osburn 950 is the right decision. The stove becomes the warmest spot in the house.

Add the variable-speed blower, a rigid firescreen, or a fresh air intake kit.
