King Pellet USS 5502M. That auger "cover" in the hopper...

What is it's purpose in life?

My daughter is running this stove in her apartment and swears it goes through pellets much faster with it opened up, so she pinches it mostly closed and tightens the wing nut. Then the stove starves and I open it up again.

It seems to me the amount of pellets consumed is based on how often the auger turns, not how wide the door is open.

How should I adjust this? I have yet to find anything in the manual about it.

when I had a longer size pellet I had to open to get enough of the longer pellets up to the shoot. with it closed it was staving the stove. I even took the wing nut off and put a regular nut and tighten it with a racket because the pellets sliding down kept loosing the wing nut.
