Has anyone seen drips like these? I get them from time to time, my coal is not wet. Lightly oiled with peanut oil, and no condensation in my hopper at all. I am just curious about the drips.

Inside view of glass, drip on bottom right corner. Cleaned tonite everything came off pretty easily.

I get condensation on my glass also. I have come to realize, through reading various posts lately, that it may be my use of outside air directed at my combustion fan. If there is humid air being blown into the stove, even though hot, the moisture is going to condense at some point inside at the coolest spots.

If this is occurring on your stove intermittently, it may be coinciding with periods of high relative humidity in your house.

I too am using outside air for combustion. I have a 2 1/2 inch hose feeding air into the top of the block wall behind the stove, and then core drilled the block wall and pickup the air at the base of the wall behind the stove. I know the setup is not an absolute connection, there is air leakage at the top of he block, I am ok with that. It does have an outside draw, not stellar but a draw none the less.
