We've had our woodstove for about four years now. Late last year, we
started noticing a "plastic" smell when we are using the woodstove. It
seems to be most noticeable when we have a hot fire going. If I damper
down
the fire, the smell goes away.


May not be your problem but if you have small children could they have
parked a toy in a blower vent on the unit?

Mine did and took a long time for it to burn away. -
