Maybe that has relations to my knee burn?
A possibility to the contrary. Let's say your stem is too long and is pulling you too far forward to begin with, causing your knees to be forward the pedal spindle. Moving your saddle forward would be the last thing you would want to do. Guaranteed to make your knees worse!

As I suggested, until you become more experienced with bike fit and can do it on your own, I would have a fitting with your lbs.
