I have a harman p61-2 and it seems like the burn pot is deforming from the heat. Has anyone seen this before? I burn fireside ultra from Home Depot and keep the stove running at med low to med setting (3-4.5) and keep the feed rate around 2.3-3.

I'll give it a good clean this weekend and asses how much it has deformed right now it's like a small speed bump as the pot slopes down.
 
Are you sure you don't just have a carbon build up? Known here as a speed bump. Your asses needs another s:)

Clean it, take a picture and post it. Cant say more than that now. To many ?? without visual.

You are describing carbon build up. Get a strong flathead screw driver because you are about to chisel yourself your hidden burn pot.
