No - when the furnace runs alone -- beginning to wonder if it is a separate issue from the dryer. I just remember hearing from someone that it is typical when you put in a high efficiency dryer... now that I think of it --- what's typical about this -- is it drawing more dust or something through the face of the burner and the smell of dusty heat comes from that... or does the furnace need a service call to get to the bottom of this unusual smell. Never existed before the new dryer -- old regular everyday dryer prior to the new model.
