Description

The Osburn Start Up Kit, part number AC01380, is a six-item wood stove maintenance and start-up accessory bundle for Osburn wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces, providing the essential tools and consumables needed to start, operate, and maintain an Osburn wood heating appliance properly from the first fire.

The kit brings together the key accessories that a new wood stove or insert owner requires to begin operating their appliance with confidence and to carry out routine care and maintenance throughout the heating season, offering a convenient single-purchase solution rather than requiring each item to be sourced separately.

The six items included in the AC01380 kit address the full range of routine start-up and maintenance tasks. The fire starter provides 50 units of a reliable ignition aid for quick and consistent fire lighting without the need for kindling alone. The 85-gram stove paint touch-up allows minor scuffs or heat-affected areas on the stove body finish to be corrected to maintain the stove's appearance. The high-quality gloves protect the owner's hands during fire tending, log loading, and ash removal.

The digital moisture reader allows firewood to be tested for moisture content before burning to confirm it has been dried to the appropriate level for clean and efficient combustion. The 16.9-ounce glass cleaner is formulated for wood stove and insert door glass to dissolve combustion deposits and prevent permanent staining. The double-wall stove pipe probe thermometer monitors flue temperature during operation, helping owners maintain the optimal temperature range for efficient combustion while avoiding overfiring.

What's Included: Fire starter 50 units, stove paint 85g, high-quality gloves, digital moisture reader, glass cleaner 16.9 oz, and double-wall stove pipe probe thermometer.

Installation Limits: Not applicable. The AC01380 is a maintenance and start-up accessory bundle. Use each item in accordance with its individual operating instructions and the owner's manual for the specific Osburn appliance being used.

Compatibility: Universal — for use with Osburn wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces.

Product FAQ

What items are included in the Osburn AC01380 Start Up Kit?

The AC01380 Start Up Kit includes six items: fire starter with 50 units for consistent fire lighting, stove paint in an 85-gram container for touch-up of the stove body finish, high-quality gloves for hand protection during stove operation and maintenance, a digital moisture reader for testing firewood moisture content before burning, glass cleaner in a 16.9-ounce bottle formulated for wood stove and insert door glass, and a double-wall stove pipe probe thermometer for monitoring flue temperature during operation.

Why is a stove pipe probe thermometer an important tool for wood stove operation?

A stove pipe probe thermometer mounted on the flue pipe monitors the temperature of the exhaust gases leaving the stove during operation, providing a reliable real-time indicator of combustion performance. Maintaining flue temperature within the optimal operating range — typically between 300°F and 700°F on a double-wall stove pipe thermometer — promotes efficient and complete combustion that extracts maximum heat from the fuel while keeping creosote formation in the flue to a minimum. Temperatures below this range indicate a slow or smouldering fire that produces excessive creosote, while temperatures above this range indicate overfiring that can damage the stove, liner, and chimney components over time.

How should the glass cleaner included in the AC01380 kit be used on a wood stove door?

The wood appliance glass cleaner included in the AC01380 kit is formulated to dissolve combustion deposits — including soot, creosote condensate, and ash residue — from the interior surface of wood stove and insert door glass. The cleaner should be applied to the glass surface when the stove is fully cooled, allowed to act on the deposit as directed on the cleaner packaging, and then wiped clean with a soft cloth. Regular cleaning of the door glass after each burn or at regular intervals during the heating season prevents deposits from becoming hardened and more difficult to remove, and maintains visibility of the fire through the door glass throughout the season.

When should the stove paint included in the AC01380 kit be applied?

The stove paint included in the AC01380 kit is a heat-resistant touch-up paint for restoring the finish of areas of the stove body that have been scuffed, scratched, or discoloured by heat during operation. It should be applied only to a fully cooled and clean stove body surface. After application, the painted surface should be allowed to cure by running a series of low-temperature break-in fires as described on the paint packaging, which allows the high-temperature paint to fully harden and develop its heat resistance before the stove is operated at normal output levels. Stove paint should not be applied while the stove retains any heat from recent operation.

Is the AC01380 Start Up Kit compatible with all Osburn wood stoves and inserts?

Yes. The AC01380 is a universal maintenance and start-up accessory bundle suitable for use with all Osburn wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces. None of the six items in the kit are model-specific — the fire starter, gloves, moisture reader, glass cleaner, stove paint, and thermometer are all general-purpose accessories that apply to the routine operation and maintenance of any Osburn wood heating appliance. The AC01380 is listed as a recommended accessory across multiple Osburn stove and insert model pages on the Osburn manufacturer's website.

Can the items included in the AC01380 kit be purchased individually if replacements are needed?

Yes. Each of the six items included in the AC01380 Start Up Kit is also available as a separate Osburn or SBI accessory part for individual replacement purchase. The digital moisture reader is available individually as AC07835. The wood appliance glass cleaner is available individually as AC07825. The stove paint is available individually as AC05959 in an aerosol format. The individual part numbers for the fire starter, gloves, and thermometer included in the kit should be confirmed against the Osburn accessories listing or with an authorized Osburn dealer when individual replacements are required.
