You need to realize that there will still be some smell even after the outside burn-in. As the stove reaches higher temps and as the stove pipe inside heats up.
Duly noted. I still think it's a good idea since it should minimize the smells. I will still move the lovebird to another room for the first few days of using the stove but at least this should get the majority of the "stink" out.
Joe, I have a parrot. When we got the 13, I took him on a "sabbatical" to my mom's for a week. When we had the first fire we had fans in the windows of the stove room and closed off the rest of the house so the smell was not too bad. We have many sets of french doors through the house so it is easy to close up certain parts. I am not sure where we are going to do the break in fire on the 30..
If you can place the bird as far away from the stove room for about a week I think he would be ok.
Since the break in fire was not too stinky in the 13, I may just keep my bird in the opposite side of the house this time while we break in the 30.
To totally rest your mind, do you have a friend that can take the bird for a week?
