He guys
Well my installer came today.
I cleaned out my chimney: there was barely anything at all in it.
Then we attacked the stove pipes. Let's remember my problem: when lighting my stove, a smell is emitting from the double wall pipe slots.
WELLLL...it turns out it's my stove TOP that smells. . It's as though the paint is still curing or something of the sort. Perhaps an oil coming out!? Here's my problem: IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS that I have been burning in it. I have had the temp go pretty high. Tomorrow I will buy a thermometer to place ON the stove top for a decent reading.
The installed tried convincing me that this was normal (or that he didn't smell a single thing). I blew my lid. I told him to call the company, get it dealt with or I want a new one! My house smells like curing paint for approximately 2 hours every time I light my stove! I am extremely pleased with the heat output of my stove, I just don't want the smell! Nobody I know who heats with wood has this problem whatsoever.
Any ideas??
