Odds are the exhaust path is getting plugged with ash, or air damper is closed too much, or exhaust blower is turning slow (bearings going bad maybe), or exhaust fan blades are choked with ash or damaged. Fire pot holes plugging up.
Just a few of the more obvious things to check.
Leaf blower sucking exhaust to clean out stove is quite popular cleaning method and discussed throughout this forum.

When was the last deep clean including venting? How old is the stove? Exhaust fan working as it should? Tried a temporary by-pass on your POF snap disc?
