Newmac wood furnace question

[Stearn786]

Hey guys, been reading threads on here for a while and finally decided to join the discussion. My wife and I recently purchased a house with a Newmac WB100 wood furnace (in addition to a seperate oil burner). I've been around and used wood stoves my whole life but this is a little different. I'm just wondering if anyone has one of these furnaces and how well they work. I'm especially curious about how long you can go between reloading the firebox. Thanks!

I think a friend has one. It does OK - but it's nothing special or advanced. Sort of a garden variety furnace. Load times would come down to your heat load and what your wood is like - but have a feeling that there wouldn't be much if anything left in there after an overnighter.
