Dan,

It could be the magnetic field from your primary that's
heating the core of the MOT.  I had something similar to this
with my VTTC.  I had used a metal mounting bracket to attatch
the PVC secondary to the base.  After a longish run, smoke
started to come out of the secondary.  Turns out the field
from the primary heated up the metal bracket and in turn
melted and started to burn the PVC.  Just a suggestion.
