I have a new wood burning stove that we installed last night and it has harsh
chemical smell. My husband says the company told him it isnt harmful. We
could barely breath last night. I dont believe that. Can anyone help.

Â* Open the windows and burn the stove at it's hottest setting for a
half hour . It's burning off the oils and solvents/paint applied during
manufacture .

Every new stove smells the first burn or two. Usually not harmful. Just
put a fan in the window and crank it up. Should not take long to clear
up.
