Greetings everyone - just a quick note to lend my voice to Scott's =
concerns
regarding the off gassing of paint on stoves. In my case I purchased a new
cast wood stove that was painted, not enameled. While I was prepared for
some odours as suggested in the owners manual, I was totally unprepared =
for
the smoke and fumes that filled the house on initial and subsequent =
firings.
I had all the windows and doors open and still the smoke detectors were
going off. I had no idea............ It is shocking to me that this might =
be
universal from manufacturer to manufacturer in home after home around the
country. Surely there is a way to condition these stoves before =
installation
or at least, give folks the option to fire them outside their home before
bringing them in for installation.
It is not acceptable - I don't know why we do.
Cheers, Tex.
