stick an open box of baking soda in stove, like fridge in old daze
good tip, i usually recommend 2 boxes, one in the burn pot and one in the EMPTY hopper. this will absorb odors like Pook stated , and also act as a dessicant by absorbing moisture which could cause surface corrosion in the unit.
i said empty in caps as i do not like leaving pellets in the hopper as they can go stale in humid summer months and in some cases where folks might cover the stove with a doiley and set a plant on it (i do) if water spills down into the hopper the pellets will swell and set up hard which can cause a major inconvienience when the stove is needed in the fall.
