Osburn Gusto Wood Cookstove

The Osburn Gusto wood cookstove is one of the newer designs in this collection, and it shows in the details: EPA 2020 certified, qualifies for the 2025 Energy Tax Credit, and rated to boil a liter of water in under 20 minutes on the cooktop. Output is strong for a mid-sized stove — 75,000 BTU/hr across 500 to 2,100 square feet — with burn times up to 8 hours and 83% efficiency.

The oven is stainless steel rather than enameled cast iron, which is less traditional-looking but easier to keep clean, and includes a two-position rack and built-in thermometer. Firebox capacity is generous at 2.26 cubic feet with a 20″ maximum log length, meaning fewer reloads per burn cycle. At 575 lbs and mobile-home approved, it’s a serious heating appliance first, cookstove second — a good fit for homeowners prioritizing winter heat output with solid secondary cooking capability.
