I was away for the past week, so my Jotul 550 insert obviously sat idle. Went to start a fire this evening and I find water inside. There was some ash in there too so it's hard to say exactly how much, but a good half inch in spots. So it was not just damp, there was actually standing water. I heard that there was a pretty wicked rain/wind storm in the New York area on Wednesday, so I'm assuming that is when this happened. Checked the cap, no issues. Anyone else ever get this much water in their stove? I have had the stove about 5 or 6 years, first time for me.
I was able to get a fire going so there seem to be no issues. Anything else I should be checking besides the cap?
