Yes another oak question

[Warm winters]

Doing an install of my new but used st croix greenfield.
I'm doing the free air kit the one I ordered is not insulated
Will I get condensation with the cold air running through it and
House being warmer. Also any tips from greenfield owners would
Be great.

Not a GF owner, but likely depends on how moist your house is, and how cold the air in the OAK more than the stove. We try to stay at 40-45 % humidity in winter and have no problem, but temps rarely below 15 here. If it occurs, wrap OAK pipe in insulation to prevent moist air from touching cold pipe, or if infrequent some just put a pan beneath pipe to catch drips.

I own a Hastings. I installed OAK and had the exact problem you described. My OAK line was dripping with condensation. A quick wrap with fiberglass pipe insulation cured that.
