Osburn Black Cast Iron Straight Legs W/Ash Drawer, 2000

The Osburn 2000 wood stove offers multiple base configuration options. Leg options include black cast iron straight legs with ash drawer as OA10235, brushed nickel cast iron straight legs with ash drawer as OA10236, black cast iron traditional legs with ash drawer, and brushed nickel cast iron traditional legs with ash drawer as OA10228. A pedestal and ash drawer kit is also available as OA10225 for owners preferring the pedestal base style. All base configurations include an ash drawer for convenient ash collection and removal during stove maintenance, and a base configuration must be selected to complete the Osburn 2000 installation.

The straight leg style features a clean structural cast iron leg profile that gives the stove a contemporary and modern appearance. The traditional leg style features an ornamental cast iron leg design with decorative shaping that gives the stove a classic and traditional appearance. Both styles are available in black and brushed nickel cast iron finish options, and both include an ash drawer for convenient ash collection. The choice between straight and traditional legs is primarily a visual preference based on the owner's desired stove aesthetic and interior décor.

The OA10235 black cast iron straight leg kit pairs naturally with the black door overlay option available for the Osburn 2000 for a fully coordinated black finish across both the stove's base and door hardware. Owners may also pair the OA10235 black legs with a brushed nickel door overlay to create a contrasting finish combination across the stove's base and door. Both coordinated and contrasting leg and door overlay finish combinations are valid configuration choices for the Osburn 2000 installation.

The ash drawer collects ash that falls from the firebox through the ash lip into the drawer beneath the firebox during stove operation, allowing ash to accumulate in the drawer rather than requiring it to be scooped directly from the firebox floor. Pulling the drawer out for ash disposal simplifies the maintenance process and reduces the ash handling associated with routine stove cleaning. The ash drawer should be emptied regularly during the heating season to prevent overfilling, and ash must always be disposed of in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid as ash can retain live embers for extended periods after the stove has cooled.

The OA10235 leg kit must be installed in accordance with the leg installation instructions in the Osburn 2000 owner's manual. All leg installation must be performed only when the stove is fully cooled to ambient temperature. The stove must not be operated without a correctly installed base configuration in place. The leg kit installation instructions in the owner's manual provide the specific assembly sequence and hardware requirements for correct and safe installation of the straight leg kit on the 2000 series stove body.

The Osburn 2000 is a mid-to-large wood stove with a 2.4 cubic foot firebox accommodating logs up to 20 inches in length with a maximum burn time of 5 to 8 hours. It delivers a maximum heat output of 75,000 BTU per hour with an optimum efficiency rating of 77% and a recommended heating area of 500 to 2,100 square feet. A heat-activated 130 CFM blower is included. The stove requires a base configuration — either a leg kit or pedestal — to complete the installation, with the OA10235 black cast iron straight leg kit being the black straight leg option for the 2000 series.
