I have got to give all of the contributors on this site props for answering all the questions presented to them from newbies like myself. I have read countless hours on old posts on system design/do's and dont's/ troubleshooting and many other topics.
I even taught my plumber a thing or two when we were plumbing the sidearm in!!
With that said I have been running for just over three weeks heating 3500 sq. ft. living area, 1000 sq. ft. of garage and my dhw and love every minute of it. I have just over 250 ft. of 1" copper plumbed to two heat exchangers/plenum on separate floors, a turbo sidearm on water heater and 80,000 btu garage exchanger. This is all pushed by a Grundfos 26-99 mounted at the boiler. I easily get over 12 hours of burn, burning mostly oak/elm/hackberry mix.
The wife loves it also, constantly bumping the temp up when she is chilled.
Thanks again!!!!!

Burn baby burn! Heating it all including water with a 10,000e. Notice the newly loaded smoke bomb on the left! :(. It burns much better with seasoned wood.
