Classic Bay 1200, Smoke smell in the house

[pberardi]

Not having much luck here guys. Switched from an englander and honestly wished i wouldn't. I have another thread open right now about inconsistant feed rate on the classic bay i just installed. Now I am getting a smoke smell in the house. Faint but its there....smells like its coming from the side with the blower motor on it. I thought it was coming through my wall thimble but thats sealed inside and out, starting collar and all fittings inside are good. Any way to check this or can someone confirm if this is normal? Its not a lot but defiantly noticeable and like I said its from the side right about the blower motor for the inside convection air.

During startup only? While running for a while? Was this a new stove?

Turn off the lights while running and use a flashlight to pinpoint leak. More often than not it's your piping.

Brand new stove from dealer, startup, than while running only if i stick my head behind the stove i can faintly smell it, more common on startup though

Try the flashlight to see where it's eminating for sure. I know if things arnt perfect seal startup may have smell until ash fills in small voids. With the fans going it may be difficult to locate purely by smell.

More likely to be an install issue than an issue with the stove. Someone messed up a seal in the vent, or to the stove.
