I decided to test fire the gf today maybe a bit prematurely. I closed off the cook chamber and lit a fire. I had the charcoal chute sealed and closed but no door in the ash chamber. Pretty quickly after I got the fire going water just started dripping pretty heavily from the coals above and the the cook chamber walls were completely covered... I decided to open charcoal chute and the lid was covered in water as well. One thing to note is that I still don't have it insulated as this was just a test so I could find any air leaks in the welds before it's all buttoned up.
Is this all due to the temperature difference of hot air and cold box? Is it excessive air with no door on ash box to regulate? I just want to make sure I don't have a bigger problem than I think. I personally think it's just an uninsulated box issue.
Thanks in advance!
