  Stove expert replied: The paint curing process on the stove takes a few firings so am doubtful that it is the stove causing the ongoing smell. I would suggest getting the flue system checked thoroughly.

  One other thing- it is a very sturdy piece of kit. I once unthinkingly threw in a piece of wood which had a metal fitting bolted on. The fitting contained a ball valve which exploded a few minutes

  Stove expert replied: As you say you are having trouble controlling the stove in windy conditions it would be worth investing in a damper or stabilizer so that control can be insured as if left unchecked damage to the unit can occur as it is being subjected to higher than normal working conditions during these periods. This can lead to component failure or in the worse case distortion of the stove body and as you have recognised this it would benefit from be corrected. The blanking plate should not have been able to come off as it should be inserted and twisted to lock it in place, however it is lucky that it did come off and not injure anyone or anything as the glass would otherwise have broken due to the explosion.
