We light it with waxlings and kindling.

Paint on flu.  Was originally stainless but now sprayed black,  maybe with wrong paint?

Interesting. No idea, but maybe. 

Wouldn't it always smell though? 

Thanks.

Hmmmmmm.  

 

Try heating the liner first, see if that helps.

It's not the waxlings though that smell. This is very different. 

I will have to get someone in - a blow torch is not in something I own!!

You can buy one at any hardware store for about a tenner. Worth a shot and certainly no need to pay someone to come in and do the same job at 10 times the price. Plus you'll have a handy blow torch kicking around.

Alright kitchen-creme lovers, back on topic come on!
I think otter may be on to something regards a painted stainless flue, the first joint up away from the stove looks scabby like it has paint loss? Do you know if it has been stainless painted or if they were black to start with?

Yes sir, sorry sir. 

 

I honestly don't know. I'd say it looks painted. 

 

Thanks for the 'scabby' comment 😂
