Looking for any info on this stove. Made in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The door of stove has the 'ORC Industries' logo.
Late 70s model? "Northwind #2"

Is this a coal cabinet stove? It looks like they no longer make a stove, but ORC Industries is still in business.
 
I have an original manual for the ORC wood and coal furnace. It covers the Northwind 2 model. If you're still looking for information, I can post it.
I'll included a couple images of my actual furnace for reference.

I was able to find my manual that covers your Northwind 2. Here are the chapters avaliable. I may be able to just save it on my printer and post it up as a pdf?

Thanks for offering. He only posted once, more than a year ago. I'm going to move the thread to the boiler and furnace room in case someone there needs this.
