Lazy flame is usually a sign of an air problem.
Check you door seals, ash pan seals, hopper seal (if there) etc.
The Dollar bill test is a good indicator. Do a search for it in here for info.
Amazing how little of a seal leak can mess up your burn.
It could also be a down stream problem.
Check exhaust system for blockages. Poor running combustion blower, etc.
If you don't find the problem. Post here and we can try to figure it out.
Good Luck,

Yes,
Make certain the stove and venting is actually clean is at the very top of my list followed by everything nailed said.
It looks like my burnt pot go filled real quick with the maine pellets and it was a googy residue not a ash. cleaned it and it's running great
