Just started to smell again. I inspected the gasket at it seems that the top is beginning to fray however there is a faint puff of smoke that comes from somewhere on the bottom of the door. I have no idea what to do?!?! Windows open now. Wish I could shut it down.

What is the thermostat set to? Try giving the fire a little bit more air and see if that stops the smoke.
PS: What is the cat temp? Is it in the active zone?

If you have it on high, then suddenly drop it to a low setting the fire may be getting snuffed, especially if the wood is not fully seasoned. Is the cat staying in the active zone? If yes, try running the stove at about 1.5 and see if it settles down.
Good news. Could be the wood is a bit damper than the rest of the cord. I'm guessing it was smoldering then reigniting causing the smoke to ignite with a small explosion in the stove. Giving the fire more air kept a small flame present and reduced smoldering.
