Exclamation Gas Range Smells and Smokes

Hello. I have a Kenmore gas range, model # 790.78511400. I got it new almost two years ago. The burners would blacken pots and pans. I changed the orifices with smaller ones that came extra with the range. They don't blacken pans anymore, but it takes a lot longer to boil water. I cannot use the oven part without having to turn the exhaust hood on. It has always smelled real bad. Not like propane, but it will burn your nose. There is always smoke coming out of the rear vent. There is nothing to burn like splattered food inside. There is a THICK layer of black buildup on the inside of the oven after a couple uses. Someone told me that it could be setup for natural gas. I don't know what the problem is. I figured I'd see if anyone could help before I have it serviced. I'd hate to pay for a fix that I could have done myself. Thanks!!
