I think I figured out why my Avalon Arbor sometimes leaves a smoky odor when it's running. I was thinking that the top cover gasket was leaking, because I could smell the odor coming from that area. But now I think that when loading from the top, sometimes debris from the wood will fall around the top cover gasket. When the stove heats up, this debris outgasses a smoky odor. Today when I fired up the Avalon Arbor, I was careful to blow any dust from the gasket area and it seems much better.
Anybody else have this issue?
I get zero smoke odor in the house from the Napoleon 1401.
