Is theburn pot properly fitted to the stove? Can you see any gaps?

I checked the cover as I removed it today to clean the stove. i shut the stove down and checked the cover. It seems like it's all in line.
In the morning I will shut it down again and check everything again. Thank you for the tips!

The flame is coming out of the end of the ramp on the sides. It's happening when the stove is burning the hottest.

TY for your help!

I would turn your feed rate down to 1, and check the vacuum per the manual. You may have too much vacuum.
 
I had the same issue with my Advance after replacing the upgraded burn pot. The cure was to put a narrow piece for ceramic gasket on the back of the flame guide to seal the gap between the back of the flame guide and top of the burn pot
