NCB-80?
« on: February 12, 2013, 09:27:55 AM »

Hello all,

Longtime lurker, looking for info about the NCB-80, and Natures Comfort in general.

Not having any luck finding much on the NC website, looks like it is a new model so maybe they haven't had a chance to update their site.

Thanks!

I've got one here on the lot, neat little stove.  Same draft fan, solenoid, and electrical set up as the ncb175 and such.  Huge load door, should be a nice unit for someone heating under 2000 sq ft.

There is a couple videos of a guy running an ncb80 on your tube, it's fairly obvious he's a noob but still you can see the stove in action

Scott, thanks for the reply, have read a LOT of your posts since I have been here, and learned a bunch.

We have a 2 story ranch, each floor is 28x48 (1344 x 2 = 2688 sf total), but 800 sf of the (walkout) basement is an unfinished/unheated garage, and the rest of the basement we just try to keep at 55-60 degrees in the winter.  In SW Missouri, so we don't have much below-zero here, average hi/low temps in mid Feb are mid-40s/mid-20s

So I think the NCB-80 would be sufficient, even if we heat our water also.

Using a homemade wood-burning air furnace now, with propane forced-air backup.  Works pretty well but tending it every hour or 2 is a pain...but not as painful as paying the propane guy.   ;)

I will definitely check out the YT vids, thanks.
