This is the best instructional video I have ever seen. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I did everything you said and my Traeger is working again thanks to your video.

[infiniteincongruence]

This video really explains the process better than anything else I've seen. Thank you.

I know this video is old but my Treager is older. I have had problem this summer with water getting into my auger and now it is jammed (and very rusty). Your video showed me how to fix it and how to prevent it from happening again! Thanks for the help!

Thank you!
Damn man, found this video late night, right before my sons bday party. He was really wanting the meats. Now Dad can provide that for him and his friends.
Blessings to you and yours. ✌🏿🫶🏿😎🫡

Thank you so much I’ve had mine for 5 years and have never had this happened before literally fired it up and new the auger had stopped!! You saved Christmas Dinnner lol!

By far the best video I've found on clearing a Traeger auger jam. Thank you.

I was panicking. My son is coming to visit from out of state, and we are going to smoke some ribs. I knew the auger was packed with wet pellet dust, but I had no idea how to get it out. Thanks for the easy to follow video. I did it myself and it worked. I’m a 63 yo woman. You made it simple.

Needed this video, really wanted steaks tonight, and the auger was jammed.

[NBHST]

This woked like a charm... Thnz for posting this.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You saved me a headache !!!

[danielallred]

Thanks for the tip on rotating the auger backwards. This is what helped me get a very neglected and stubborn one unstuck.

Thank you for the excellent video on cleaning out a jammed auger. I actually had the shear pin snap due to the jam, but used your advice and picked up a new bolt and lock nut, and working like a champ. Pork Belly burnt ends on the pellet grill now testing it out.

[metalica]

Thank you for the video! 20 minutes and a trip to the hardware store I had the jam out and the grill cleaned up back together ready to use. I used a 6-32 3/4” long with a lock nut and it worked perfect.

Great video …… I cleaned my auger last time without watching a video, had to clip a zip tie, now I know! Thanks brother!
