Just installed my insert, all is ready for the first burn . But not sure if should do it in this weather , it's very muggy,humidity is 80%, 52f degrees, rains on and off . Shoud I just wait for crispier day ? Tomorrow should be much better .
 
If it's brand new, your going to want to fire it up and let it cook for a while to cure the paint.
 
That's like buying a new 4 wheeler and waiting for the right day for a first ride! Start that puppy up. You know from cruising these forums what to expect when lighting a stove on a day like that, so you can be prepared to compensate. Being semi warm its a decent day to have some windows open barring the rain.
