I have some kind of moisture dripping from the firebox door. It is also going into the ash tray, and dripping from there. I have attributed it to burning green pine and spruce (only wood I had due to short notice). I wasn't overly concerned, but now I noticed it is eating away the concrete.
Any thoughts on what this may be?
I've tried messing with temp setting (currently running 180 with a 10 swing). But nothing seems to completely stop it...though I feel it is slightly better then when I had it at lower temps.
Oh, another thought on this. The inside metal of my door has a blow out (was that way when I bought house). The previous owner said it isnt a big deal. But I was wondering if that hole in the metal is causing condensation. Ill post pic or the hole tomorrow

Mine does same thing, I have a spot under door on concrete as well, it hasnt got cold enough yet here in SEMO to keep it burned off.

Mine is the same way also - Im burning greener wood as thats all I have and with these warmer temps its dripping. I have the unit angled back about 1/2" from level and this has helped ALOT. I also have the Tstat set at 185 with a 15-20deg swing depending on what im burning.
Have fun :)

Mine does same thing on the mf 5000 I have mine set at 175 with 10 degree swing and it does well now. I notice if you put wood towards the back of Furnace away from door. You will get less to almost none dripping out of doors. I put a pan under mine and I was emptying it out almost ever day and since I moved wood back and I hardly empty the pan at all now. It is like its almost gone. And I am having mild weather here in 20s at night and around 60s though the day.
