I've come across one of these Rockwood laundry stoves, and I can't find about it. does anyone know about how much space it heats, size of wood it takes, etc? Much appreciated with anyone's help!

I can almost guarantee that stove is meant to burn coal not wood. Yes you can still burn wood but it will be very hard to heat any space with it because you will be feeding small pieces of wood into it very very often
 
If you can lay your hands on it, you can measure what size wood it would take.
Though coal will work much better in something like this. (Nice coal dust in your laundry;-)
