The ceramic sealant for the door/glass may be the odor you smell.* It's horrendous, and you're likely to smell it in areas furthest from the stove.* Definitely chemical smell.* Solution:* disassemble the door.* Clean all of the sealant off thoroughly.* Replace gaskets with a thicker sealant (more caulk-like than runny black crap that comes with gaskets).* Use the absolute minimum amount of sealant with new gaskets (Follow recommendations).* This will help a lot, but may not solve completely.* Circulate the air in your home, open windows.* Spaces where heat gets trapped emit stronger odor.* Another option is to not burn so hot, and makes sure your chimney and stove is cleaned regularly.


Paint smells similar, but slightly different.* So if unit or paint is fresh, take unit outside and burn off out there for 4-8 hours first.
