Steam coming from liner

[guest5234]

Have just pulled in my new liner and have just got it out of chimney stack before I fit a cowl and chimney pot....great fire going and what looks like wisps pf steam coming out of liner, it is not smoke but whats looks like white steam....is this normal...wood is 18% or lower moisture.

That is how it will look on a cold day with the newer cleaner burning stoves. Or at least mine is the same way as you describe.

Even at 18% the moisture needs to be boiled off. It occurs during the first part of the burn cycle. After about 20 minutes there should just be heat waves showing at the pipe.

How's the secondary burn now?

Very good Sir, took the tip and the secondary burn is making my reload every 2 hours instead of every hour.....thanks.
