Does anyone have any information on Manufacturing Systems wood furnaces from the early 1980's?
I'm currently looking at one locally, after purchasing a Johnson's Energy Systems J-7300 and finding it A) both too small for the building I'm trying to heat (BTU-wise), and the firebox being too small to keep it burning overnight.
The unit (while old), has a large firebox (I'm sure it's HUNGRY!), and the plates all look in decent condition (no warping, etc.).
I'm just trying to find a little information on the stove before I go down the wrong path again.
This is just to heat an outbuilding, but I'm wanting to NOT waste more time than needed with it as I want to re-direct back to working on the wood gasification boiler project for the lower building that will also heat the house.
Thanks for any input or information!
