I emptied and cleared out the auger and hopper multiple times. At least it started before, now it wont even start. There is also a rather serious mechanical problem with my auger now. I tried running at low, 400, and max to see if it made a difference: it makes none. Attached is a graph plotting the last run before failure. After this run: the grill would no longer start and the auger is now producing a horrible grinding noise.
