We recently installed a dry multi-fuel stove (Glen Dimplex 8kw) with an external twin flue, set on a granite hearth (3ftx3ft).
So far we've been testing a selection of fuels and today we've used ecobrite coals, and briquettes.
Anyway - earlier I found a small puddle of water had formed on the floor along one edge of the hearth. I wiped it up assuming one of the kids had spilt something.
Tonight I have noticed the same thing though, in the same spot, after the fire had died down. There isn't any apparent reason I can think of. The room doesn't suffer from condensation and is vented.

Anyone have any ideas? I am stumped.
 
I would say check for condensation on the stove or rain water coming down the flue and into the stove. It may leak at the elbow or enter the stove
