Was it brand new ? Burning it for 1 week?

Looks like an old cap. Was a previous cap there recycled? Is the cap galvanized?

If it wasn't it sure looks like it is now.

It's an old cap, but it doesn't look plugged. Of course, it could be gunked up on the inside in a way that's not visible in the photo.

It definitely has mesh in it, so keep an eye on it.

There’s no reason to think it’s an old cap. It just looks like you’ve been using it... it’s normal.

Looks way better than mine does.

It just looks like some rust due to wet weather and a hot stove as long as it's still there I wouldn't fret

It's a brand new cap and I thought it was stainless steel. I've only burned it for a week so far. Attached are the installation Parts the installer used. Could you guys tell me if it's stainless steel or galvanized. Also another picture from a different angle. Thank you again for all your input.

I searched the Olympia site,
(broken link removed)

Looks like it should be a stainless alloy. Also your cap looks like the one pictured with the liner kit.

How dry is your wood?

 

[Markie123]

15 % or less i use a moisture meter.

If that is on a fresh split at room temp, that is very nice.

Older wood stack and cover . I guess well season.

The discoloration might be the result of under seasoned wood.

This shot is a bit better. I color corrected and lightened the image to see it better and agree with Webby3650 that it looks normal and like stainless from this angle.

 

[Markie123]

once again thanks for all your valuable input. Happy burning to all

Same cap I have on my liner. Absolutely guaranteed to be stainless.
