Outside Air Kit Freezing over

[beardedbbq]

Anyone ever have this issue? Added the OAK to our Kozi this year and it has been rock solid. Even in our -40C days and nights this thing has not skipped a beat and heat 90% of our house with ease.

We have a rodent cover on our OAK and it is starting to frost over. Has happened twice in about the last two weeks. I'm not sure what can be done to help prevent this other than brushing it off every day.

Looking for experience from anyone else that has had this happen to them.

Yep it's quite common. many insulate the tube others put a cookie sheet or towel under to catch the drips

your talking the outside is freezing over where you have the screen over it to keep the neighbourhood pests out of the pipe? Does it not have a drip cap over it?
