I took the advice from many here and along with spraying the inside of the stove with Pam spray last june,
I put a box of damp-rid in the ash pan.
yesterday I took it out and looked at it... The white crytstals we're pretty much all gone and just the black charcoal were there [as the box sez the black crystals will never dissolve.]
I had about 1 inch of water in the bottom of the box.... is that normal?
I covered my OAK Inlet over the winter with a rag but did NOT cover the outside pipe at the top..
Is this how the moisture got in or would it be due to just picking up moisture in the air in the house although
we run a AC most of summer.. was surprised to see an inch of water..
