It'll be a bit before its fired up. BTW, I used to rig equipment yrs ago....there is s lot more planning ahead with the right rigging. Or in my case without the right rigging.
Chris holly said to use a wrecker to move it, he was right.

That is some boiler! Will you be installing it in the same barn as the Tarm? Will the Garn be using your water storage tank?
Nice!
Got mine piped up over the weekend. Finished today getting the air purged out of the lines. My home has never been this comfortable!
Sitting in my living room right now in a tee shirt (without the pellet insert burning), house is 72 deg. Outside temp is about 19. Just went out and checked on the garn, it is just coming off a small burn of cherry/ash and the tank temp. Is about 164.
Cannot wait to get my domestic running off the "tank".
Congrats, Cow!
You are going to love this boiler!
Listed that for sale, just for the heck of it. Made a nice profit. The simplicity for my install, I went with the Garn. this is for my truck garage, basically two modines, circ pump and that should be it.
I'll have other pics later. I stated this in another thread, I have a solo Innova, with the square tank, that has performed very well. Would highly recommend that set up. Had some extra cash, made a decent profit on the Tarm that I bought this summer, plus where it's for a garage, the Garn's a simpler install.
Very nice!
I got my garn 1500 up and running about a year ago and couldn't be happier! Im sure you will love it.

Currently have mine coupled to an aerofin hot water coil in my furnace (temporary), working on adding a modine in my basement. Still debating on which way to go for the house permanently, either staple-up radiant or hot water baseboard?
this room is 25x36 with 19' sidewall and 12/12 pitch, i'm not able to heat it with the infloor radiant. the pex is not stapled to the subfloor with plates, but the joist cavity is insulated. Too many windows and too much cubic feet i guess.
I'm looking at a Central Boiler corner heat exchanger with a fan, but not impressed with having to fork out another grand, but don't really want to run the propane fireplace all the time either.

If I wanted to get more heat out of my water & into the rooms (which I would like to do actually) than what my baseboard can do, I would first look at cast iron rads (still trying to sell that idea to the other occupants here), and then panel rads. Should be able to retrofit either to the baseboard piping pretty easy, and they are both usually available used. I don't think I would want a unit type heater in here that also needed a fan blowing.
When the day comes to replace the pine flooring in the kitchen I will likely evaluate adding some infloor - but right now I'm not too excited thinking about the extra work that would be involved.
