Vedolux has models with conventional draft fan and other models with natural draft.I feel that a draft fan could only help if the wood is slightly above ideal MC.

He's a really fun guy to be around...He makes it a point to make sure you understand anything he's talking about,, he wants you right on board with his thinking!Thank you all for your input. I think i have setteld on the vigas40. I agree with your coments about Mark. I. Spoke with him last year when i started my research and he was more than willing to tell me everything he knew about boilers. Im looking forward to meating him and giveing him my buisness.
How tall is your chimeny?![]()
Idk what i would do if if i couldnt see that waterfall of flames cascading through the nozzle and wrapping around the trough. Almost mesmerizing to sit in front of with a beer. Iwill be putting a couch in front of my boiler once i get that room finished.I will add that I am very satisfied with my Varm 50 which is also natural draft like Maple1. It is pretty much self-regulating since the draft builds as the fire matures and decreases as it goes out. I will say I am guilty of burning less than ideal wood without much issue but am much better prepared this year. My wife operates the boiler with ease and only takes 5-10 mins to light load, and walk away. The fact that ALL the cleaning can be done from the front is very convenient and quick. I will also warn you if you decide to go with a Varm you will not be able to get away from the viewing glass...it’s fun to watch.
I beg to differ on your opinion of AHONA. I purchased a Eko Model 25 back in 2008 from them. I have tried unsuccessfully to get replacement parts for my unit for over 6 months. They never return e-mails, when I did reach them on the phone, Mark repeatedly promised me confirmed delivery and NEVER came through. He always had an excuse: "well, I am at a show in Ohio...call me this weekend." They spend more time out-of-town at trade shows than taking care of business at home. Please, don't believe me...go to their website and leave an e-mail message...they will never get back to you. I know it is a waste of time, but I filed a complaint with the BBB. They use to be very responsive, no more. Shop elsewhere if you can.Don't think u could go wrong with either unit.... That being said, I know u can't go wrong if u are getting ur Vigas from AHONA, especially if you are performing the install urself. Class act over there.

PS: I ordered the parts I needed from New Horizon; received them in 3 days.
And, ..... that safety valve should be plumbed in a safe way towards the floor.
If somebody peeks trough the window when it goes off, he/she might loose an eye![]()

Just a 140 danfoss valve and a 3 speed circulator pump
