I think you’re right. It’s just very strange an can’t work out what it could be.

Hi Mike, It’s a clay liner. Could that expand with the heat do you think? No I haven’t kept the fire going to see if it ever stops. I wonder if that’s worth trying? Thanks.

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone could shed any light as to why water might be dripping into my wood burner when it’s lit? After about 15mins of having it I can hear a dripping start on the metal plate at the base of the chimney, then a couple of minutes later the water starts to drip through the collar onto the wood burner. I had a guy round who said it might be tar melting and tried to seal the flu connection with some fire rope but the water just comes through it. I think it’s to watery to be tar and it fills a bean can in an hour so lots of water. As soon as the fire dies down it stops, and as soon as you get it going again it starts! It makes no difference if it’s raining or not. We’ve gone days without rain and it does the same thing. It feels like there is to much water for it to be condensation. We did have the back boiler removed years ago before the wood burner was installed. Could this have anything to do with it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris.
