As luck would have it, I am getting a stove installed at the same time I appear to have developed a small leak around my chimney. Not much of a leak, a drop every 30 seconds or so, only during torrential rain and accompanied by strong winds. Roofer has tried to fix with no luck and will be coming back soon. It does not drip directly onto where the stove will be. The drops hit the end of the mantle a foot or more to the side (and a couple feet above, obviously) from the edge of the stove. The drops splatter a tiny bit and little drops would land on the stove. We put a dish at the drip impact point with a small towel laying inside to prevent splatter.
Question I have is, if there is a little splatter onto the stove, are there likely to be ill affects? It does not seem to me that there would be, given how little water we are talking about and with the roof being fixed soon God willing. But welcome comments. Cold front coming in and would like to be able to use the stove and not have it covered up with a tarp or a garbage bag or something. Thanks in advance for any comments. CC
