Hi, I noticed an issue last night that started out of the blue this season. My Pacific Energy Alderlea T5 Classic Insert was burning pretty well all day and in the evening after I reloaded, I noticed that it seemed to continue to burn hotter than usual. Flames were licking the door and also going up the flue (which is at the front of the baffle). Is this a door gasket issue, where the seal has gone bad?
Thanks!

Edit: I did figure out that the possibility is high that the gasket does need to be changed now, but it is still relatively new. The top corners are flattened in while the bottom ones are not. I am making an assumption, but it seems the door is probably the issue here. I also did the dollar bill test which failed. I would like to give the door adjustment a shot myself before I call anyone too do it for me. Anyone have any advice on this? I was going to order the actual PE brand door gasket and install it, but the door adjustment I don't see much information on out there.
Thanks!
