Purchased and self installed a new Piazetta Monia. Vent is a Duravent kit (Straight through the wall then up 5 feet). The building inspector approved. Fired it up for the first time today with Lacrete West Coast Softwood pellets.
Ran through the first ignition instructions and all went without hitch. Manual does warn that there is a burn-in period for like 16 hours (o'oooof). Is it typical for the burn-in to also fill the room with a cloud of hazy, light smoke. I recently got a new oven and a similar effect occurred. Is this common? Its been on for about 2 hours and the room is dense with haze. I'm going to shut it down for the moment and head to my partner's condo.
My one concern: I messed up spray-painting the Duravent pipes. I grabbed the wrong can from my unorganized garage and used a regular Rustoleum black. I got about half way through the first coat when I realized I wasn't using the high-heat can. I finished the job with the high-heat Rustoleum, although I'm concerned the first coat might be what is burning off (and into house).
