It is not a burnt rodent or bug smell, I do have screens on the outside vents to keep critters from crawling into the exhaust port.
What I do smell, I initially thought it was propane, but it was not that pungent, irritating propane smell. It seems to linger from around the furnace like it is a heavy exhaust.
I cannot figure out how to run the fan without heat, if I could do this, then I think my problem may be fixed, like I said, it just seems to linger after the furnace then fans turns off.

Mine has a switch for Heat-Off-Cool, it also has a 3 position switch for the fan ON, Auto,OFF. If yours has this, just turn the fan switch to on & the heat switch to off.
Mine has Cool/Fan/Off/Heat. In fan mode, the A/C fan runs.
I did turn the furnace on and sat outside for about an hour. It ran the whole time, it also uses a tremendous amount of fuel. Anyway, it seems to have done the trick. Thanks all for their inout.
"I had the same thing happen to me . It finally went away after running it for two days non stop . I just vented the windows and let it run".
