I've been seeing this a lot lately. My flame flutters slot like it's not sealed somewhere. I know it has something to do with the door gasket, but how is the test done. Sorry for the question. New to this pellet life, but loving every minute of it.
 
Send me all your dollars and I will send you the test kit.;)
Hoot it is easy, open door and place a bill along where the gasket is, shut door on bill, slide bill out and if there is no resistance you need new gasket. Try this on many areas of the door ( top, bottow, and sides)

Yep. .. Also dont forget to check ash pan gasket and hopper lid gasket (if unit has them). Any gasket can leak, causing a burn pot by-pass.
 
Thx guys, ill send you the buck I test with.
