If you know what a burning shoe polish smell is like, why do i smell it when i switch all my gas appliances?

Well if all of your appliance are new then they have a oil coating on the burners to prevent corrosion while sitting in storage when the appliance is first fired the first few times you will get that smell sometimes. The smell will last longer depending how much of a oil coating they put or how often you use it. The best thing to do in this case run the appliance until the smell goes away. It should take about a hour or so.





Also sometimes the gas company put a bad batch of scent in the gas and when it burns it can smell like a bunch of other things. I would ask all of your neighbors if they are having the same problem if they are then you will just have to wait for it to pass.





Good Luck!

I'm not sure what burning shoe polish smells like, but the gas company puts an odorant in the gas to help detect leaks. Call your gas company and ask to have your house checked for leaks. You probably want to call from a neighbor's phone. If you have a gas leak, an electrical spark can cause an explosion.
