Well 3 fires really. We lit it today to cure the paint. Manual said to burn first fire at 300 degrees. Very hard to do. It ran up to 400 before it started to come down. The next 2 fires were the same way. About 410 was the maximum temp. I did manage to lighten the paint halfway up the stove. But I guess it's cured now. I'm happy with the stove. It takes a bit to light it but it does throw off some major heat. I think we will be happy with it.

I wa under the impression that the paint starting to lighten up was a result from to much heat. But I can take it to 550 no problem.
The paint has started to bake at 400F, but I have found that I need to get the stove hotter to finish the job. The good news is the final bake-in should be less smelly.
