US STOVE 6041

[Mattbph]

Irritating that when I start my pellet stove there is always a smell of smoke for the first hour. This has been happening since I bought the darn thing. After the stove has been on for a while the smell of smoke dissipates and the downstairs seems "normal" again. Is there something wrong with this stove? What I think is happening... smoke is building inside the stove and makes its way through the blower ventilation (where the heat comes from). Can anyone give me an idea as to what is going on? Thanks!

Could be a small leak in the venting and once things warm up the smoke is helped out of stove by natural draft. Pesky stove adapter to venting has been the cause of many headaches. Silicone self bonding tape can stretch tight an has no hole for smoke to sneak out of

My 5502 does that. You gotta goop the hell outta the appliance adapter. Also if using dura vent, well, you'll have smell unless you goop every joint.
