I brought my stove from store to house then right inside. I cured the paint inside. I'm the inpatient type haha I didn't really smell anything but my wife's nose picked it up quick.....long story short if you don't have a wife/gf with good nose who will nag u then let her rip inside and if you have too open a window, windows, door. All depends on the nose

Hmm. No pics? Must not have happened.
Need? Don't need to, but if you can, yes, do it outside with a section or 2 of stove pipe stuck in the collar.
You might still get some curing smell once installed.
Open a window.
It will likely take a few decent firings to cure fully.
Which stove did you get?

As long as you can open some windows it's not bad. They say the fumes aren't harmful but it does stink.
The stove paint will start baking in when it gets above 450-500F. Open a nearby window or two and maybe point a fan out one of them. This will only be for the first 1-2 fires with the stove over 500F. Each time it will get better.

Welcome. I burned mine off inside and go the alarms going a couple times. Dog didn't like it but beyond that and a couple brain cells I likely don't need no harm/no foul.
Get it cranking and enjoy the heat!

Yea-------Farts aren't harmful either, but get enough of them in a small room and you'll die.
