I am not a pellet stove expert so bare with me, but I am pretty sure there is something wrong with my Quadra fire cb 1200 pellet stove. Gave it a good cleaning yesterday morning and a few hours later it started making this sound from either the auger or the auger motor, I think its the motor. It only does the squeal when its dropping pellets and it can be silent for hours or squeal every 10 seconds. Any ideas? should I just order a new auger motor?
 
You could try a drop of 3in1 oil on that center shaft of the motor may get you by till a new auger motor is procured. Sounds pretty dry

These are sealed motors, so oiling will only get you by for a while. kap
