    I also have yet to have the auger jam despite being rained onany times and I've never emptied the pellets. A common complaint with mosture, but maybe they fixed the underlying leaks...

    Or maybe the fact that you live in a fairly arid climate helps. I honestly feel we have an advantage in that aspect geographicaly.

    That said. Did some Italian sausage links Friday night, paired with green chile mac & cheese, and doing ribs today.


    ETA: I haven't had an auger issue or clumped pellets yet either.

    I have thought of that as a contributing factor for leaving them in continuously. Reviewers on Lowes often claim that it leaks horrendously in a rainstorm and they have to drain in advance of rainstorms to avoid jams - and that's what I've never seen.

    It is possible they are mistaking cause and effect, and they just swell after x period of time from the humidity, and if they drain it as often as they have rain, it "resolves" the problem for the wrong reason. Mine happens to catch a hell of a lot of water from a valley on the roof too.... that box doesn't leak at all AFAIK.

    Arrid is part of it. The other is using pellets that have a lot of sawdust in them. If you don't clean the hopa , that sawdust is what clumps up.
