My outside air pipe condensates betwwen wall and stove. Any fixes for this?

If you are referring to the fresh air pipe getting some condensation on it then there is little that can be done.. at -30c temps the air coming in through the OAK (outside Air Kit) is COLD and the single wall flexible aluminum pipe is just as COLD. As a result any moisture in the house condenses on that pipe and then drips off on the floor. My solution was to put a shallow cake pan under the pipe and catch the water before it hits the floor... it needs to be emptied once a week or so in the coldest Wx here. I think a more elegant solution would be to insulate that pipe.. I haven't done it yet though.
