Ahhhhhh!!!! After my little brag post yesterday, the old Whitfield got pellet fines indigestion this morning. Auger got clogged and shut down. A simple fix with a coat hanger in the tube, but fines actuallly stopped the auger and came falling down when released.. First time in five seasons (second for the Quest). Have burned primarily Hamer's in the past, but price drove me to Prestologs this year except for cold months. More fines than Hamer's, but had not thought there woul be a problem as hasn't seemed excessive to me. Live and learn...
