Hi All,
I have had a Harman Accentra insert for 4 years, and it's actually great. But this year after running it for a month with high quality pellets I used an older bag I had around for 2 years which had a lot of fines. After that the stove began to stink, not a smoky smell but a sweet sorta of smell, not pleasant though. I swiched back to the high quality pellets for 2 days and it still smells. The stove and chimney was cleaned well before the season and I have never had this problem before. I checked for dead critters around the stove but none to be found. I have a CO detector right next to it and it's reading zero.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be??? It almost smells like a mouse in the heat exchanger but I am sure it's not that.
Thanks in advance!
