Frosty Oak

[SFCJames]

Mighty cold here in southeastern MA. Woke up to a frosty oak this morning. Anyone else having this issue?

with these temps mine would frost up with the Englander and the Serenity but it's not frosted with the Ravelli I would think because it don't need to pull as much air.

Mine does that and is currently covered with frost. As the days pass without shutting it off the crust will get thicker.

-15 here and no frost on oak. I do have the stove on very high and the house is quite warm. there isnt much humidity in the house either. Maybe that is why theres no frost

I had the same problem until I insulated it.

about 8" or so of frost from inside wall down the pipe. Pretty cold with wind chills here in E Pa somewhere around -20 last night. Still in the low single digits outside now. Stove has been on non stop for the last 4 days. Expecting temps in the upper 40's middle of the week....crazy weather.

Here is the P43's OAK this morning



Yep, that whole thing, until it hits a piece of insulation wrapped at the junction from 2.25" to 3" - (will correct that next year) is frost from the -21* air going thru.

I have the OAK for the P61a insulated for the first 12-16" and nothing below that shows frost. Don't know if there is frost underneath and not curious enough to find out.

I didn't think mine was frosty, until I touched it! Just a little, not bad. Currently 3.6* outside.

coil it up inside a bucket of water. as the chilled air runs through the oak it will chill the water. free beer cooler.

Can see the frost fairly clearly in the picture.
