After company had cleared out after the Super Bowl, I loaded the stove up and left to clean the kitchen.
A short while after, the smoke detector alarmed. I turned the corner to see the smoke filled room and a roaring fire visible through the front glass.
After closing the damper (need to pick up a timer), windows were opened, fans were ran, no problem (I think, I'm still a newbie).
My concern was the smoke, strong plastic odor, it burned my eyes.
Everything seemed normal afterward, but I let it burn down and it is cold now.
My buddy who is familiar with the wood burning came by today assuming we had a chimney block.
We were able to disconnect the stove pipe for a clear view up to daylight.
The stove pipe had been painted by the previous home owner, our guess is it was burning off.
The pipe was gray when I went in the room. Could all that smoke be from just paint?
