We are burning our 5th fire this morning. In back bedrooms there is a tiny bit of haziness. It does not smell smoky at all. I checked attic and no issues there. Is it normal to have that. This is first day we have had sunshine coming through windows since we started burning it. That is where you can see it most.
 
No it is not normal unless you are still curing paint. Do you have co alarms?
 
I had this happen a couple times to, thought it was just me and my eyes playing tricks, No smell, no smoke, and I have co detectors, What I think it was is the house creating a thermal layer and maybe a little dust floating around.
 
Yeah it may not be a problem at all but i would not say it is normal either
 
I would suspect it's still the paint curing . . . some stoves take longer than others to have the paint cured . . . and even once you think you're good . . . one day your stove will reach a new high temp . . . and that "hot stove" smell will return once again.
