Hello, We have just added a new room on with a metal roof. We have a ridge vent as well as soffit for ventitation. Under the roof we added the baffles and then the insulation and installed a wood ceiling. Our heat source is a vent free gas fireplace. We've noticed lately that every now and then we'll have a few water drops here and there which we know is condensation, but have not clue why. Do you have any ideas as to what could be going on. We are totaly puzzled as we thought we'd done everything correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Vent free gas fireplaces emit a great deal of moisture. Is there any way to increase the ventilation or add a vapor barrier? Todd Miller
