We have an older wood stove that is new to us and recently installed. We have a brand new stainless steel liner, the stove was clean when we started. The problem is that when burning hot, there is an awful plastic smell.
My husband does not smell it like I do, nor does he seem as concerned....thinks it will burn off. We have had approx half dozen fires so far so I am wondering, will it burn off? Is there something more to be concerned about?
We have two little ones and do not want to dismiss it as "new pipe smell" ..have to go with my gut.
There is nothing surrounding the stove that should not be there and nothing is even hot to touch. We do have a soapstone top that came with the stove. Is there a temperature limit on the stone?
Sorry if this has been answered before... I do not have time to sift through the thousands of posts!
