Have you cleaned them since last burning season? What you may be smelling is dust & if you have any pets,
dander or hair in the logset that is burning off. Either you can clean them or continue burning til the smell goes away.

It's been burning for about a month now. Just switch to a new tank we bought. been burning off this new tank for about 5 days.
