I am new to the pellet stove world and just wondering if this is normal. The auger on the stove when it is hot makes a creaking noise when it turns. It sounds kind of like a dry hinge on a door not really loud but when you are sitting by it you can just hear it creak when it starts to turn like the pellets are sticking a little in the tube then moving so it is a soft tick tick tick noise as it starts to turn. This might just be a normal noise for these style of auger feeds i dont know. The other stove it have is a top feed and it acts much different than this one does.
Creaking bottom feed auger normal?
