Osburn Stratford II Wood Fireplace | OB04007

Osburn Stratford II Wood Fireplace | Model OB04007

The Osburn Stratford II OB04007 brings the look of a traditional double-door fireplace to a controlled, high-efficiency wood-heating appliance. The raised cast iron doors showcase the flames, while its 2.5-cubic-foot firebox offers practical space for dry cordwood in a family room or main living area.

An included blower helps distribute heat beyond the immediate fireplace opening. Choose traditional or modern faceplate treatments and matching overlay finishes to fit the surrounding design. The non-catalytic system is designed to meet EPA wood-burning emissions requirements without the complexity of a catalytic combustor.

Who Should Consider the Stratford II Fireplace?

The Stratford II makes sense when the project calls for a traditional double-door built-in wood fireplace rather than a contemporary sheet-steel or minimalist insert appearance. Its 2.5-cubic-foot firebox and 750 to 2,200 square foot recommended heating range suit homeowners who want a meaningful room-heating appliance without stepping up to the Horizon's much larger firebox. The included 176 CFM blower helps circulate warmth; the faceplate and door-overlay selections let the finished fireplace complement classic or transitional rooms.

Begin with framing and venting, not the decorative front. The Stratford II requires an approved built-in fireplace installation, a listed 6-inch chimney system, appropriate hearth protection and noncombustible finishing details. Osburn offers optional forced-air or gravity heat-distribution accessories, but these require specific approved components and planning before walls are closed. Confirm which faceplate and overlay are bundled with the product configuration and which are separately priced options.

• Double cast iron-framed glass doors
• 2.5 cu. ft. firebox for routine wood heating

Manufacturer figures are reference values, not guaranteed heating results. Maximum BTU output, tested output rates and burn-time estimates use different conditions; real performance depends on fuel quality, chimney draft, climate, home heat loss and operating settings. Confirm all dimensions and listed installation clearances in the current manual before ordering.

Installation and Compatibility

The Stratford II is a built-in wood fireplace. Check framing dimensions, hearth protection, the approved 6-inch chimney and any optional heat-distribution ductwork against the current installation manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install the Stratford II inside my old masonry fireplace?

Do not treat the Stratford II as a drop-in wood insert. It is a built-in fireplace with its own installation instructions; a properly sized Osburn wood insert is the usual category to investigate for an existing masonry opening.

Does this fireplace include a blower?

Yes. Osburn lists a 176 CFM blower as standard equipment. Optional distribution kits may have separate requirements and are not the same as the included blower.

Stratford II or Horizon: which is more appropriate?

The Stratford II has a smaller 2.5-cubic-foot firebox and 8-hour maximum published burn time. The Horizon offers 4.28 cubic feet and up to 11 hours, but also needs a different, larger approved chimney system.
