Pulled my stove out this morning for a good cleaning, notice that the OAK pipe was wet, tiny puddle behind stove. I pulled the pipe off and it had a small amount of water in it. Has to be condensation. Any one else ever had a similar issue?

I did shorten the pipe so it does not hang low and create a place for the condensation to collect.
Mine will get condensation outside the pipe which is normal. Not sure about inside?
ETA: Never checked, now I will be looking at that just to see if it happens inside.

Ok thanks, like I said above I shortened the flexible pipe so there is no sag for buildup, just wanted to make sure I did not have something out of the ordinary going on.
