I let my pellet stove sit for a few days and just cleaned out my pellet stove for the first time and now I am getting this awful chemical smell. I let it burn for about an hour and a half but no luck. Should I keep burning until it goes away? Any Ideas?
 
Make and model? Details on the cleaning?
 
TBH I am not sure. Warnock Hersey is the Manufacturer. I am not sure of the Make and model as it came with my new home and it does not say on the back. I can see it was made in 2002. I just shop vacced it out and cleaned the glass with a glass cleaner. Not a deep clean.
 
Darken the room and Use an led flashlight around the piping to check for leaks….first thing I’d do
