paraffin smell from gas cooker
 

Today for the first time, I picked up a whiff of paraffin when using my
gas cooker.

What could this be, and should I be worried?

Have you been painting with solvent-based paint ?.
This causes some strange smells when you light a
fire or stove that has an exposed flame.

My dog used to smell like gas when he had just eaten well.

Paraffin smell from gas cooker
 

This happened to us after caulking windows. Very distinct paraffin smell. The curing silicone + combustion caused the smell.

Marion was thinking very hard :

No doubt the smell will have gone in the 16 years since the original
question was posted.

That of course depends on what actually caused it.

Possibly because she has a gas hob and the sealant is giving
off some volatile sunstances that are then burnt by the gas
hob flames causing the smell. Usually happens after painting
internally with oil-based paints.
