Pit Talk -- Comments and Questions Regarding These Pellet Pits > Blaz'n Grills

What’s the best way to clear my auger tube?

(1/3) > >>

ArborAgent:
I think there’s something wrong with the pellets in my auger tube. My grill can’t get above 150 and errors out. I want to empty the grill and put fresh pellets in to see if that fixes it.

My plan is to empty the pellets and push the prime button until nothing comes out. Does that sound reasonable?

Bentley:
Without pulling the auger out I assume?

ArborAgent:
exactly. I’d rather not change anything mechanically.

GREG-B:
What I've done a couple of times, and it's worked.   Empty the hopper until you can see the auger.   Take a wooden shaft (hammer handle), turn on the pit and gently tap on the auger with the wooden shaft with a hammer.   So far it's worked every time.

pmillen:
Nothing is stuck.  You just want to clean out all of the existing pellets.

Sure.  Your idea to empty the hopper (vacuum) and then run the auger with the prime button until nothing drops seems like a perfect plan.
