at only 200 on the pipe, I would imagine you still haven't really burned all that new smell off.CapeCoaler wrote:Could still be the paint...
If you had the stove body to 350* then go to 450* the next day...
It will smell again...
Then you hit 550* a week later you will get some more smell...
It will lessen each time...
A few burns at 550* and you are done...
As you continue on, and load and sometimes forget
you left the door open, you may see temps in the stack up into the 3-400 range,
and again, you will get more odors. I don't monitor my stove temps, just
the stack right above it, and yea, I've been up in the red once or twice, and
could tell by the smell.
as far as leaks, I would imagine any pipe fittings would leak inward due
to draft, (as the HD is hardly sealed). none of my fittings are taped or sealed,
at least other than any natural sealant of time.
good luck with the stove, it's a dragon for sure, but sure gives off
a nice even heat.
