When I first moved into my new home and hooked up my gas oven, it
would spew lots of stank fumes when I used it. I basically had to
stay about 5' back or my eyes would burn. I remember this at my last
house when we first bought it as well.

But now 3 years later I suddenly realize it does not do this, and has
probably not done this for a long time. I put the gas piping in my
self. I suspect there is something I did not do that I was supposed
to do for a new install? I hate working with pressure or gas, but it
was like 3 days till thanksgiving and we needed to get the oven going.

Note: The oven was not new and followed us from our last house.

Can I assume that the odor you had was not the smell of gas?

The first time any oven is used, it tends to have racks, and metal parts
that have not been toughly heated recently. They tend to have oil and dust
on them from manufacturer and storage. Normally I would not expect the kind
of reaction you experienced, but people vary in sensitivity and it may have
been stored somewhere and accumulated more than the usual dust.

There is nothing in installation, other than maybe using a connection
near it that was not rated for high temperature use, that would have caused
the problem.
