Just a few questions irt what's normal for a first burn. I'm also hoping to hear "strange" first burn stories people have experienced (or heard someone else experienced). Basically looking for something other than "everything went normally". Thanks for looking.
1. Carbon Monoxide on first burn? On the 1st burn, the monitor registered around 40 then slowly went back to 0 over approximately a 3hr period. I opened a few windows to help get it out quicker. I thought it might be due to a leak in the connection between the stove exhaust hole and the liner, stove paint curing, a binding agent in Rockwool melting, or some sort of a combination of these.
On the 2nd burn I did a few things (temporary precautions) to block what I thought were "possible" areas that CO could leak into the room (from behind the insert) and got no CO indication whatsoever. I systematically removed all temporary precautions and still got no CO reading. The CO detector hasn't moved from zero since that first burn. So is that a normal occurrence that others have experienced on their first burns??? Hopefully other people had a CO monitor running on their first burns, otherwise there's no way to know if it happened or not.
2. Bad paint or normal reactions? During first few burns the inside paint getting a really wet look to it and even seeming to have a little dribble line in a few places? Also, the paint seemed to peel off in a few spots (in sizes as big as 1-2in by 1-3in). I saw what I believe to have been a piece of it hanging from the inside top of an area of the stove but it must have fallen off because it eventually disappeared.
