Auger stopped feeding pellets

[lovespaintball]

My pellet stove wont feed pellets consistently. The auger came loose from the shaft, i put it back on and now it seems to get bound up. I don't know the manufacturer and don't have an owners manual. Can anyone give me an idea of stove brand and how to fix it. Thanks

Is that a wooden surround?? Is there any info inside the hopper or on the back of the stove. There should be some info on it, from a test lab.

Test lab is Warnock Hersey. Model # P1000W. I figured out the manufacturer: Welenco, Lewiston Idaho.

Yep it's wooden outer shell.

can't fool me..that's a microwave oven in a wooden cabinet with a stove thermometer on it for effect. Neat-O

Aww dang...thanks for the help Delta. Maybe that's my problem...its a stinkin microwave oven.....lol

happens to me all the time, though pellets will burst into flame in the microwave...really cool to watch, kinda stinky after....most pellet stoves have either a vacuum sensor or pressure sensor that will interrupt the auger...blockage in the pipe is usually the culprit. thats where I'd start.

It's those Packsaddle pellets, they are wrecking everything, first burn pots now augers.
