Clearing the Auger
Several different factors can cause the pellets inside the auger to compress and jam the auger. Pellets, left over the
summer, can absorb water, expand, and jam the auger. Pellets piling up inside the burnpot can fill the drop tube and
then jam the auger. Foreign objects left in the hopper can jam the auger. To remove the auger flight inspection plate
and clear any items jamming the auger, follow the directions below.
Remove all pellets in the hopper.

Before re-assembly, you may wish to re-start the stove and verify the auger turns. Make sure to
apply high-temperature silicone to the bearing cover (see step ÒbÓ above), this keeps pellet fines
from contacting the upper auger flight.
Remove the silicone shown here (the silicone
shown in gray need not be removed).
NOTE: on pellet inserts, remove the hopper cover before
conducting the following steps.
Unscrew the six screws holding the auger flight
inspection cover in place.
