There are a couple other reasons that the burner may be sooted up if you're running it while boondocking it's common for the battery voltages to get low enough that the blower system doesn't create enough air movement and as in any combustion chamber if the air fuel ratio gets too rich you end up with soot.
Knowing what the system was just serviced one of the first places I'd look would be at the ignition electrodes make sure they're installed at the correct depth using the spacer that's attached to the burner if they are too deep they interfere with the spray pattern and can cause problems if they're too shallow you make it late ignition or no ignition.
Either way the systems are fairly easy to work on once you get the cover off and it's a good practice to be able to do your own maintenance on it the systems work well when they're working but they do require maintenance to make them work properly, as you get a feel for the system you will find it more intuitive to work on.

Hope this helps

Thanks Eric,
I honestly haven't done any boon docking. We are living in it full time on shore hookup. But the previous owner barely used it and we only started using it more frequently until the hose leak and that's when it started to have issues. Sadly due to timing I've been on the road with work and such for 3 weeks since it happened and haven't had  chance to pull it apart and do some self diagnosis and hopefully repair. But certainty all seems simple enough and I'll try and pul it apart this week.
