I'd go further and drill a few extra holes in the back boiler as well. Don't want any condensation coming out as a jet of steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to stop this is fill the boiler with kiln dried sand - acts as a heat sink and also dries out any moisture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
