Have a 5502M just got a couple of weeks ago. Tried all different type of settings and the stove will burn for a while then got out and a pressure builds up and sounds like a back fire and smoke rolls out of the tee. What is causing this???
 
I'm far from an expert but sounds like a blockage or issue in the venting, maybe not letting the flue gasses out properly? Have you confirmed the exhaust vent is clear, pulled cap off the T and confirm the same? All the way back to the appliance connector on the stove maybe?

There's plenty of experts here though, you're in good hands.
