You probably have a pressure deficit issue brought on by stack effect or something else stealing room air so the stove's air intake isn't adequate to keep the sparks in. Are you getting some smoke smell too?

I assume that you mean the secondary tube was hanging off, which should not effect sparks blowing out the room air blower.
I have had sparks come out the blower when a live cinder got sucked into the air intake and ignited dust etc collected in there. Because the blower is still on- it fans the flame in there really well until it all burns out. Keep cinders away from blower air intake.
