  1. BFG
I wanted to cook a couple of slabs and a butt for this afternoon since my wife could not make it to my last event. Started the grill and everything was going well. When I went to put the meat on I noticed the temp was at 147. I always clean the grill after I smoke so I knew it couldnt be the ashes. The grill turned on so that ruled out the fuse. I still checked both. I then noticed the auger was not turning so that meant I had to vac all the pellets out. This is a warning for all, ONLY PUT IN WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR SMOKE!!! It is very cumbersome vacuuming out all of the pellets, if full, to find the jam. My jam was in the rear and works great now. It would of been nice for a drain door be put on the side. That may be a project for another day.
 
There was a pellet stuck between the auger and side plate at entrance toward the back. It was not wet at all. It seems it just dropped in wrong.
