Steve,

i thought that it was only when it was extra hot.

I notice it most when the "fire" is burning strong and hot. This can occur
when we first start the fire and the stove is still cold, or it can occur
later in the evening if I open the damper and get the fire going strong
again.

Thanks for your thoughts and input.

I'd be suspicious about that fatwood. I think some of it is fake, soaked
in oil maybe. Try a fire or two made the boy scout way, and see whether
you still get the smell.
