Quadra Fire Castile - excessive ash build up

Hello, I have a 2004 Quadra Fire Castile insert. The stove is relatively new to me as it came with a home I purchased (this is my first Quadra Fire, but not my first stove). The stove has a fake log set in the bottom four corners.

I recently replaced the convection blower and door seal. The stove/chimney was professionally cleaned and serviced at the beginning of the fall. I have the feed rate set at the lowest setting I can adjust it to.

The problem I have is excessive ash buildup. I clean out the burn pot once daily and by the end of the day the stove is dirty with a decent amount of ash build up on the lower corners of the glass, sides of the stove, back plates (which are normally grey) and the top right side of the baffle is dirty (the left side is not). Even if I clean off the ash when I clean out the burn pot it is dirty within 8-10 hours later. Not sure if this is normal for a Quad but it seems excessive.

I burn Vermont Wood Pellets which have performed well in the past with very minimal ash buildup.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Thank you! The stove is set on high. I removed the logs and cleaned out the burn pot holes, some were clogged.

In the process of doing so I noted the igniter casing that holds the igniter in place appeared loose and it subsequently fell of when I touched it lightly.

Now I need to figure what to do with that.

So luckily I was able to loosen all the bolts without breaking any off. The burn pot actually came out easily (despite what I was expecting) and I'll have it welded back in place tomorrow. Hopefully, just the cost of a gasket and i'll be back in business. Thanks for the help!
