Hey everyone. I installed a Harman Allure50 last week. The air intake hole I found out thanks to great members on this site is 2.75” not 2”. Anyway, today in Pennsylvania it was 34 when I woke up. I am noticing condensation and water build up from the air intake on the floor. Anyone have any good ideas or tricks to hear this?
 
It’s normal, when mine starts to do that I put a small fan blowing air behind the stove and it helps....
