The Varms with storage are nice for sure. If you are going to get a boiler, add the storage when you do it.
Any advice would be Appreciated!

If you message me your email address I can try emailing you some PDFs. Not sure why you can't get them from that site.
I don't know why either. I tried the company that makes them in Sweden and it comes up in Swedish. Not computer whiz here ,lol. my personal email is [email protected]

Just sent some brochures.
I think the price of the LK810 loading unit that came with mine was around $650 or so. Pump & thermostat body all in one unit like mentioned above. Expensive but works nice, keeps an even 140 water going back to the boiler until the return gets above that. An alternative to that would be an ordinary circulator (say Grundfoss 15-58 3 speed), and a Danfoss themostatic valve. Not sure where you get those around here though. They have them on the Pex Supply website, but they don't ship to Canada. Might also be able to rig up some sort of mixing protection with an extra circ on a bypass loop tied to an extra aquastat on the return line. That's a bit over my head though.

There yah go maple, you might have another natural brother.
Regarding height you are supposed to have 18" above the boiler to combustibles. You can use them without the stand, but you will be bending over to load. Idk if you got all the dims from the pdf but I will measure my 37 when i go out to the barn in a bit.

OK thanks. I am using double wall flue now on the boiler I have. Problem I think I might have is that I got a 8 round stainless steel liner inside of my masonry chimney.There may be too much draw. Chimney is 24 feet I have.

Too much draw is a good thing - it can always be reduced with a barometric damper. My chimney is about 30' of the 7" stainless insulated stuff. When I'm burning with no wind blowing and the barometric damper shut, I'm right at about 0.1" draft. Spec is 0.08". It still seems to burn OK in the 0.06" range. I have not done any sealing of my pipe joints or anything to try to improve my draft since I was good just slapping it together.
ok! Well it looks like the chimney is okey then. The guy who sells empyre 100 recommended in putting in a six inch liner inside my 8 inch one because it calls for 6 inches.
