Is there a way to see if the gasket around the glass is allowing air to pass through? It looks ok visually but wounding if there is a way to see if air is being sucked through. I was thinking once the stove is running well to turn off the fan and light a wooden match until its burning well and then blow it out and move it to the door to see if smoke gets drawn in. Dont know if it will work or if there is a better way

If the glass stays clean then it probably is fine. If air is being sucked through there is often a sooty deposit in that location.
