Noticed tonight that my Pacific Energy stove that's 4 years old was giving off a curing smell (like a hair dryer overheating) I'm not sure what to make of it.

No, we keep everything away from the stove. My wife says she smells it sometimes when the stove is really hot
If the stove gets to a higher temp than it has ever been before you will get the curing smell. I also get it briefly when firing up the stove if it hasn't been fired up in a while.
Occasional forays into high temps will further bake in the paint on the stove and flue. It will also burn up accumulated dust. Keep the stove top and internal flue temp under 700º to minimize this.
