I have just fitted a wood burning stove into an inset fireplace (and signed off by building control before you ask!) The stove is 6" from the back wall and 12" from the sides walls. When it is on max heat it smells. I think that the stove is burning the paint on the walls, which is standard masonry paint.
Has anyone else experienced this? Will the fumes stop after a while or should I overpaint it with a fireplace paint? I've searched on google but can only find stove paint, not paint for the walls around the stove.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
