    Yeah buddy! Debating on whether or not to light a small fire tonight to get the curing process started.. Warm enough here that all the windows are still open, but if it smokes enough to set off the alarms, Mrs Papi will have my head after just getting the micro-Papi to sleep!

    Our PE didn't smoke , you could just smell the paint baking. Kind of a sour smell. I would do it when the windows were open. Every time the stove reached a new high temp you'd smell it again. Faint, just noticeable. It really wasn't all that bad. I would do the first burn or three during the day though so if the Mrs. finds it objectionable she can leave with the little one for an hour or two.
