This is first time I had a gasifier and notice alot water running down my chimney, something I did not have with a normal wood burner stove. Just wonder how much is ok and if this is normal?
 
What size is your chimney? We had it until we put a insulated liner in the chimney. Your flue gasses are too low.
 
It's very common to get water on the first firing or two from the refractory (drying out). It's likely to be gone either before or after the next fire.
