I have cleaned and checked everything I can think of for this stove. It seems to start fine but after 15/20 minutes the fire goes out. The auger is turning but only a few pellets come out on each cycle. The fire seems starved for pellets and then goes out, When it goes out all the blowers quit and some smoke comes in the house. Can the auger be partially blocked and still feed a few pellets when it turns?
United states stove 5660 won't stay lit.

Yes to the auger having an obstruction. Time to get all the pellets out and pull the auger to check
Has anyone here ever removed the auger from a USA stove model 5660? Is there any way to clear the auger without removing it from the unit?
I found that the auger was partially blocked by a few extra long pellets. It would let a few pellets thru but not enough to keep the fire burning. I removed the auger and cleaned everything and now it's running fine.
