I try to load mine up to the top of the fire brick per the instructions that came with the furnace. (Vogelzang 2500)
Is it safe to load it higher? Mine won't burn long enough the way I load it now. I get about 4-6 hours out of it with it set on low.
I have the same furnace. I load it almost to the baffle and let it get to 450 degrees on the stove front and then i crank the air way down. I think it ends up smoldering alot more than a half a load but i'll still have a few coals in the am. I think they don't want you loading it past the fire brick if you lose power otherwise you're fine going higher. That furnace is a POS tho.
