If you gas fire smells it is VERY IMPORTANT that you stop using it immediately and that you get a professional, qualified gas fire engineer to come and service it and check the flue. The reason for this is that a faulty fire can produce a gas called Carbon Monoxide (CO) which you can not smell or taste. This gas will kill you and is responsible for may "faulty fire" related deaths a year. The fact that you can smell kerosene from the fire indicates that fumes are leaking back into your living area and the likelihood is that CO is too. STOP USING THE FIRE!

A few things that can cause a fireplace to emit odors are: New fireplaces have what is referred to as a burn in period, normally 8 to 12 hours, during which it may emit some rather strong odors. This is a result of oils and paints used in production baking off or curring and should subside after the recommended burn in period has been met. It is not necessary to run it continuously to reach the recommended period. It is normal for a fireplace that has not been used for some time ( summer ) to emit a musty odor when it is first put in service. this is caused by dust in the venting and on the appliance burning off. Contributing factors like pet dander and cleaning products can add to the odor and make it quite strong. Normally these type of odors will subside after a couple hours of operation. Vent free fireplaces ( no matter what the manufacture says ) always have an odor.
