Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

[lizsteve]

We have the factory

insulation

for our

dome

, but we have 2 issues -

1. The metal crank rod that enables the

dome

to open and close gets in the way from sealing the

insulation

onto the velcro completely. Is this supposed to be removed to use the insulation on the dome, or should we cut a hole in the insulation so the rod can poke through?

2. We are

heating

with a wood stove and just this AM there was dripping from the dome (insulation mostly on except where the rod prevents it). I pulled the insulation off and there's so much condensation up there it is starting to drip. How can we avoid this happening?
