Did you "cure" your stove? From the Installation manual page 2
4. WARNING: The high temperature paint on this stove may take several hours of burning at a
high fuel setting to cure fully. During this time, an odor that is not harmful may be evident.
When odors are present, the area around the stove should be well ventilated.
5. Caution: The high temperature paint can be easily scratched prior to burning the stove

My dealer had me run at high 4+ hours
 
If you talking about the paint inside the firebox it will all burnoff. Over 1000F temps will do that...
 
I did call my dealer he said that's not normal he's sending me new ones he also said he's been running the same stove at there shop for 2 years and never seen that my stove has seen anything lower than setting 4 since I started it
 
I agree with your dealer. I have had mine for 4 yrs now and have not had any issues with the paint.
