Sounds or smells like the paint on the burner outside burning off, nothing to worry about we had the same last year when we put ours in.

Yes it is normal until the paint on the stove has cured. Ideally start with small fires only to take stresses out of the cast iron or plate steel.

curing of metal of the woodburning.........check ur instructions not too many big fires to begin with usually
