About the Osburn Matrix
This updated version of the Matrix wood insert will seduce you with an average particle emission rate as low as 1.54 g/h. The latest modifications made to this box are well in tune with the industry standards required for 2020. Although it retains a unique style that is both massive and sleek, we have reviewed the door mechanism to make it more functional. Adding a set of intermediate trim panels may be required to complete your masonry hearth. Always the same legendary Osburn quality.

Common Questions
Catalytic or non-catalytic: which wood insert style is right for you?
The most important question is how long the insert keeps your house warm before you reload. Non-catalytic (tube-style) inserts deliver strong heat quickly with typical burns of 4 to 8 hours per load; catalytic models trade some immediacy for longer, steadier burns.

Why heat with wood at all?
Wood heating appliances heat where you live rather than wasting money heating the whole home, and wood warmth is the kind you can feel deep in your bones. If you have space to store and season firewood, wood burning can be a life-changing heating option.
