Hey guys I'm a little nervous.
I just got my Avalon Olympic installed this morning and it looks beautiful!
However, I have fired it up--got it up to temp (i think) and have dampered it down (closed by pass) and am in the "first burn" mode to get set the paint etc...so fumes are coming off which is normal / expected.
However, I notice out of my chimney there is quite a bit of black/blue smoke coming out...the installer guy said the first burn will get all these oils and finishes burning off so i will see some smoke...is this really normal?
I guess my question is: DOes a first burn usually always yield a good amount of black/blue smoke...I'm guessing I have been burning for a good 2 hours now....tops, maybe hour and a half and the stove is putting out a good amount of heat.
Nervous newbie needs help, thanks!
