Guys, I haven't made any progress with this damn stove. Over the summer I fought with Duravent customer service that their cheap Lowes piping was faulty because of the smell and the fact that it took me a roll of foil tape and 2 tubes of silicone to stop the leaks. They eventually sent me the Professional Grade piping that cost much more $$ and I installed the new piping and found leaks at the 90 degree joint where it exits through the wall thimble. I sealed all the joints, but the smell is still as strong as day one especially when it's running for more than 15 minutes.
There is no ash pan gasket on my stove and I know some stoves have them... anyone else have this model that can weigh in on possible leaks.
Lastly, I've read that new stoves give off a smell when first burning, so they have to be "seasoned"?? It's an older stove, but it's been sitting for years in NEW condition as the previous owner never hooked it up. Thoughts?
