Absolutely none! I love this little giant. It takes up very little room but it provides comfortable warmth for my 10x10 ft office.

We do not recall a smell when we first used the heater, and it certainly does not have one when it first starts heating now.

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.

I have not noticed any odors or smells but this isn't my primary device so I don't use it a lot. I will deliberately check it and if there is any strange odor I will comment back. :)

No. There's no odor at all. I love mine, and I'm getting one for my sister for Christmas.

Mine did not have a smell. However, like you, I'd let it air out to see if the odor will dissipate.

I never got any smell from the beginning so not sure why it is so.may be it might go away after 2-3 times. So its better not to grind anything in large quantity. Just for namesake grind something little and see if its going away and then use with large quantity.

Yes, it does have a smell to it when it first arrives. Since leaving it out of the box and just letting it air out I have no longer noticed the smell.

It does have a bit of a rubber odor when you first take it out of the box. I used mine without washing it first, and the odor was gone after the first use. However, I'm sure if you washed it first that would probably take care of the smell as well.

I had a smell when I first started using it, but it was a new smell that went away in a day or two. Nothing since then.

Not really-I just used it and after reading your question I had to go back in the kitchen to see if I smelled anything. The answer was no, but I had been cooking. If there is an odor it is so minimal that it just isn't an issue.

To me it smelled like formaldehyde. After letting it air like the instruction suggested, the smell disappeared. I have never smelled an odor since I started using it..

No, there should be no smell at all after you have hooked up all the lines or canisters.........I say AFTER because when first hooking or unhooking lines/canisters there will be some leakage.........after a certain time (10 min ?) if there is any smell you should check all lines and tanks......if STRONG smell and in confined space you should not use of course but in your situation in a green house I would think that is not so air tight but then like I said you should not have any odor, I have a little buddy set up in my garage with a 20 pound tank and also a big buddy set up at my cabin and neither has any odor at all !

It's been a while since I used it, I use mine in a portable ice fishing house. I don't remember anything of a smell.

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.
