Although my gaskets still have not arrived I have confirmed that is the issue. I held a lit match near the ash pan while closed and the flame was sucked towards it. I stuffed the gaps around the pan with Roxul for the time being and that has improved things. Thanks for help.
Thanks for the verification. New gaskets should make a nice improvement.
 
I just packed my ash pan full and left it the last couple years I used my Homestead. It was easier to just shovel.
