Osburn Rigid Firescreen 950 Wood Stove

The AC01420 rigid firescreen allows the Osburn 950 door to be held open while the fire is burning, providing a protective spark-arresting screen barrier across the firebox opening that prevents flying sparks and embers from escaping the firebox into the room. This allows owners to enjoy the open fire experience — the sight and sound of the burning fire — without the risk of sparks or embers landing on the floor surface or surrounding combustibles. The Osburn 950 must not be operated with the door open without the rigid firescreen installed in the firebox opening, as flying sparks and embers from an unscreened open firebox create a significant fire hazard.

No. The Osburn 950 must not be operated with the door open without the rigid firescreen correctly installed in the firebox opening. Operating a wood stove with the door open and without a protective screen allows sparks and embers produced during combustion to escape the firebox and land on the floor surface, hearth materials, or nearby combustibles, creating a significant fire hazard. The rigid firescreen is the only approved method for operating the Osburn 950 with the door open and must always be in place whenever the door is held open during burning.

The rigid firescreen should be removed when the stove door is to be closed for normal closed-door burning operation and when reloading the firebox with additional fuel. The firescreen is a removable accessory that is installed when open-door burning is desired and removed when the door is to be closed. During the reloading process, the firescreen is removed to allow access to the firebox for adding fuel, and is reinstalled if the door is to remain open after reloading, or set aside if the door is to be closed. The firescreen must never be left in the firebox during normal closed-door operation.

The Osburn 950 is a compact wood stove with a 1.8 cubic foot firebox accommodating logs up to 17 inches in length with a maximum burn time of 5 hours. It delivers a maximum heat output of 45,000 BTU per hour with a recommended heating area of 250 to 1,200 square feet. The stove measures 28-7/8 inches high by 20-1/4 inches wide by 27-7/8 inches deep overall, features a single glass door with cast iron frame, and uses a 6-inch chimney connection. High-density bricks, a stainless steel heat shield in the C-Cast firestop, a top heat deflector, and side panels that reduce clearance requirements complete the 950's firebox and installation configuration. The stove is approved for alcove installations and, with a fresh air intake kit, for mobile home installations.

No. The AC01420 rigid firescreen is designed exclusively for the Osburn 950 wood stove OB00950 and is sized specifically for the 950's firebox opening dimensions. Rigid firescreens for other Osburn wood stove models are available as separate part numbers sized for the respective firebox openings of those models. Using a firescreen from a different model on the Osburn 950, or using the AC01420 on a different stove model, would result in incorrect fit and must not be attempted.

In addition to the AC01420 rigid firescreen, the Osburn 950 wood stove has a range of optional accessories available. The AC02023 blower with thermodisc automatically turns on when the stove reaches operating temperature and off when it cools, improving heat distribution throughout the room. The AC01421 fresh air intake kit for wood stove and the AC01349 5-inch fresh air intake register with airtight damper provide dedicated outside combustion air supply for installations where indoor combustion air is insufficient. The AC02090 5-inch by 4-foot insulated flexible pipe for the fresh air intake kit completes the fresh air intake system installation.
