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 isn?t harmful. We could barely breath last night. I don?t believe that. Can anyone help.
New wood burning stove

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.
