Getting a fire going will be easier when the weather cools off more. You'll really notice the difference once the temperature gets down to freezing. But I can understand your want to get at least one of the burn-in fires done.

You are gonna smell paint for a while, kinda like a initiation into wood burner!

The smell of paint curing on a new stove is like the factory fresh smell of a brand new car driven off the lot.
You only do it a few times in your life, so enjoy!

I'm addicted to the smell, and I don't plan on changing my ways!

My insert did not smell at all while breaking it in...

Enameled stoves (and inserts) usually don't give off a lot of fumes during break-in as compared to painted stoves. It is the paint breaking in and offgassing that creates the fumes.
