About a week ago, I found a puddle of water on top of my Englander. The puddle was about 4 inches in diameter. I didn't see any indication that I had a leak in the roof. The water wasn't splashed, as I would think a leak would do... I have conducted an experiment, dripping water from a few feet above the stove, and it splits apart into a bazillion droplets.
I couldn't remember setting a cold jug of soda on the stove to condense a puddle... Geeze, that would be dumb.
I have ruled out my three female dogs as culprits, because none of them would fit comfortably on top of the stove to take a whiz. Besides, it was water, not piddle.
It does seem to have occurred after some hard rain. So, now, I'm hoping for some hard rain. I'll be sitting here like a hawk watching the ceiling.
The location of the puddle was the lower, front section of the stove, on the right hand side. That's not under the hole(s) in the ceiling/roof at all. It is, maybe, under a roof truss.
I just can't get it to make sense.
Is this weird, or what?
