Wood burning stove, how long to cure the paint/bad smell?

A question about : Wood burning stove, how long to cure the paint/bad smell?

Reading lots of conflicting info on this, the manual states

2.1 To allow the appliance to settle, and fixing glues and paint
to fully cure, operate the appliance at a low temperature for
first few days.
2.2 Do not touch the paint during the first period of use.
2.3 During this time the appliance may give off some unpleasant
odours. Keep the room well ventilated to avoid a build-up of
fumes.

I've done the above and didn't have any unpleasant odours. Now i'm running the stove at full temp, once it hits 400 *F, I get a very unpleasant smell. Had it on every night for 2 weeks, around 3 hours a time, but not done an extended burn yet.

Some sites say you need a full day of burning at very high temps, 400 *f +, others simply a few hours at a high temp.

How long did your stove take to cure the paint?

Best answers:

• for us it took several weeks of burning, but eventually the smell stopped.
