As far as the smell is concerned ... If you initially burned it on high for a minimum of 45 minutes, the smell should have dissipated. If however, you have recently painted prior to or just after it's installation, it's probably picking up the new paint odor and making it worse. Rug or floor cleaning products will do the same thing. As far as the squeeling noise is concerned, that could be caused by a low pressure problem from your LP tank regulator. If it occurs when the outside temp is well below freezing, more than likely the tank regulator is partially frozen. Soak a bath towel in hot water, ring it out and place it around the tank regulator to thaw it out. Once the gas is flowing freely again, the squeeling noise should cease.
