should go away after an hour parts are sprayed with oil to stop rust in storage,mine is fine smelled for maybe a day

Probably just moisture that you see smoking also the burning smell is just the coating on the exhaust til it burns off, just double check your work and be certain the muffler and pipe under truck isn't touching anything to burn

When I first installed the exhaust, there was a burning smell for possibly as long as a month. Maybe had a little smoking, but nothing exteme.

Yea but it goes away. I suggest driving over 55 for at least 30min or so. A little day trip.

Not at all ...my clamps were junk ..probably oil in it from manufacturing ..should go away ..

Yes....I had the same problem. I think it is some type of oil they have on the muffler....maybe residue from the manufacturing of it. Or it could be the sticker on the muffler. I have not been able to track it down.

Hi Dana, I grilled twice and it was a lot of smoke too. Even I tuned to minimum gas, it still burned the meat. I am trying also figure out if there is better way to do it. On the same boat. Stephen

I left it outside and open for about 3 days. I had the same problem with the smell but I just started using it and after the first day at the beach the smell was gone. Don't ask me why.

I noticed the smell upon opening mine too. The smell seemed to come from all the little desiccant packs. Throw them away and double check because theirs a lot of them in all the pockets. And after I took all of them out. I just left the pack open on my hot and humid porch. Even if you did nothing. I would assume the smell would eventually fade over time, Till then just try storing it away from you till the smell dies down some.

Hi Walt, I don't know! do you have the filter in place? You are sure it's smoke and not dust? does it smell like rubber burning?Please check the rubber belt and make sure it's not twisted or jammed. Does the smoke have an order, is it like electrical burning or rubber?

I had no issue with smell, I would suggest setting outside and letting it off gas for a few days

Exchange it. The same thing happened to me not even a month after I purchased it. Along with; failed smoke and immobility

IF let's off a fair amount of smoke. I was not very happy, and would net rocommend. For me, the problem I had was it got too hot, even on the lowest of settings for my gas burner. Also, it's impossible to clean, without scraping of the coating. the last time I used it was to sear tuna. I let it sit for a day and scrubbed very hard to remove the residue. I used a sponge,then a soappad, becasue the sponge did nothing for the black residue ledt behind. I scrubbed so hard some of the costing rubbed off, and there is still residue left? Hope you have better luck and this was helpful

I bought one and it smelled like it was burning shortly after I got it and still smells smoky, but I have continued to use it several times and it performs as if nothing is wrong with it.

Mine just blew up in the area where the cord goes into the porcelain part. There was a loud pop and smoke. The innards of the porcelain part are burnt. I just got this in June 2014. Has anyone else experienced this?

I too just got back from a camping trip and everything worked like a charm. Both burners operated without any missteps. All I can surmise is perhaps a connection may have jiggled loose during shipping. Try opening up the top and looking at the connections under the burner plate. I would further check the burners in an opposite direction...try lighting the burner that did not light first and see what happens. I'm glad mine worked ok while I was out camping, because it is truly a heavy duty piece of camping equipment that will last for years.

Not for my comfort level. I bought some of that reflective heat shield foil tape and wrapped it around some rock wool to create a little fire-proof insulated pad that I taped to the bag's heat shield. That would rest right against the exhaust heat shield and kept the bag protected. This was on a DR650 which had similar exhaust placement. Those bags didn't hold up to the beating I delivered crossing wisconsin on ATV trails either. They only lasted one trip (1400 hard miles). Could last years if you were very gentle.

Mine was pretty smelly too...and then it completely fell apart after a week so I tried to get a refund. Amazon only gave me 20% since I couldn't return the item (as you know, it's big and heavy and once it's assembled it's kind of tough to put it back in the box). So...if yours still isn't assembled I'd advise returning it before you're stuck with a bad product.

I have never had a problem with my Procom, but the last one I owned I had a problem after about the 5th year. What I had to do was shut the gas off and clean the stem that the gas comes out of. Basically they stem became clogged with lent and this was impart my fault, because I would turn it off in the summer and I allowed lent to get in there. So try to clean it out by vacuuming it; I took the screws off and then the bottom cover and vacuumed the whole thing out and I especially vacuumed really well by the gas stem, where the flame comes out.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

I had the same problem. I turned it on high setting and quickly turned it off when I smelled something burning. The next day, I turned it to low, then medium, then high setting with no problem. Not sure where the smell comes from.

I tucked the wires back behind air cleaner and a mechanic friend of mine told me to do the same with the hoses. The larger one goes to a canister mounted on the bottom of the bike (smog thing I believe) and the smaller one goes to the carb on my bike. He said I may need to adjust the jets but I haven't yet, seems to run great. However, it does tend to backfire now when it's really cold. I allow for more time warming it up. I'm no mechanic and can't swear this is the best methodology but, it's worked great for me the past 3-4 months. Anybody else have a better suggestion, please let us all know.
