RT-1250 Not happy with what I am seeing

Best advice above is to use lava lock on hopper to prevent any back flow of air or flame, No flow, no backburn, no back burn, no hopper fire. I do not use it on the lid, but I see no problem with that if desired. Go for it!

I have lava lock on my lid. Might try the hopper too.
