[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 3522561, member: 1719"] high efficiency furnace don't have a high enough exhaust temperature so moisture will condense before it can leave the flue and run back into the unit. The manufactures design for this. salt... maybe. never tried it. Couldn't hurt. if it will drain even a little you can cup some hot water thru it and open it up. If its solid it will likely just freeze up again tonight while you sleep. might be able to figure out how to drain into a bucket. or cut up a garden hose and drain into a bathtub if your desperate depending on access you might install a condensate pump and poly tube it to a sanitary drain [/QUOTE]
