   First, thanks for the report.  I enjoyed it and am heading that   
   direction next week.   
      
   As far as the smell is concerned, first question I would ask is it the   
   first time the furnace was used?  If yes, I would say it is normal.  If   
   it is the first time for the season, it also could be considered normal   
   as dust and other unwanted things could have gotten in there and burned   
   up.   
   If it has been used before and it is not an initial burn off of machine   
   oils and such, you have to pay attention to exactly what it smells like.   
     There are webpages that give various examples of the different smells   
   and their causes and the action necessary if it fits the scenario.   
      
   If you DO think it was a burned wire or electrical component, you should   
   certainly do a full inspection.  If you are proficient in electrical   
   diagnostics, I'm sure you could hook up a meter to make sure things are   
   working within limits.  The specs should be all in your documentation   
   manuals. If not, I'm sure the stealer could.  Good luck resolving this   
   and getting peace of mind!
