new garn in route

[Fitter 73]

Hi all. Newbie here, although i have been creeping around the forum for quite some time now digesting tons of useful info In preperation of my future gasser install. So i finally pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago and ordered my new garn 2000.
With an expected delivery tomorrow, i am sitting here tonight feeling like a little kid on christmas eve...
Also wanted to give some recognition to Chris Holley for his prompt response to my inquiries and answering numerous questions that i threw at him.
For anyone here that is considering a garn, i would highly recommend giving Mr. Holley a shout and pick his brain.
Will try to keep posting through the install process, and i am sure i will have some questions along the way.

I didn't buy a Garn, but talked to Mr holly. Easy to talk too. Nice guy.

Chris Holley is very knowledgeable. I didn't have the space for a Garn though.

You must have a lot of space to heat needing a 2000? People here really like pics.................

Wish I could share a pic of my new wood burner, but i was disappointed to find out this morning that the transit company held it at a distribution center 3 hrs. Away and won't be delivering until monday...
Oh we'll, will have to wait in suspense for another couple of days.
Here are a couple of pics of what I will be heating.
2400sq. open floor plan log construction. I may throw a prop unit heater down in the full basement currently un-heated,just to help take the damp chill off.
The garn will only be heating the house and domestic for this year, next year I will be working on construction of the garage where it will eventually be housed (going in a shipping container for this winter).
My plan for the garage will be an additional 3 to 4 thousand square feet of heated space.

The same thing happened to me in transport, it's the trucking company that they use.

So my new toy finally did arrive a few weeks back. I figured it was time to get the install moving...
Landed the "redneck" garn barn into place on sat.
Not nearly as nice as some of the other installs that i have seen here, but it will do for this winter.
Got my father to help me move the beast from my shop today.
Didn't get as far as i had hoped after sliding it into the container, but good things take time! Will continue to post progress.
Cannot wait to fire this thing!
By-By propane guy! Ha...

You must be stoked! (pun intended)

How do you plan to insulate it in the container?

Thank you.
Not sure why the pics rotated...took them from my phone?

How do you plan to insulate it in the container?

Probably just going to wrap it with loose batts. Or roxul insulation. Dont really want to spend the time and additional expense to frame it in as hopeful i will be moving it into a garage next year.
Any suggestions?

 

[S.Whiplash]

Once you've got the Garn hooked up make a plywood wall across the front to close off the space and fill in the voids with blown in shredded fiberglass. When you go to move the boiler, bag the fiberglass up and re-blow it into the new space. You can rent insulation blowers from Home Depot for the day.

 

[Deering]

I'd go with the batts for now. Just the thought of trying to bag up lose, blown-in glass makes me itch. But you could reuse the bats then blow in glass to fill in the void spaces once it reaches its permanent home.

Mike,
Curious what you are running on the load side of your jr.?
Baseboard, radiant? What are you using to heat your DHW?

All baseboard, the Jr. is plumbed so it [the load side of the HX] flows through the 1962 oil boiler, which has 3 zones. The DHW comes from this same setup.
