I'm referring to the Pellet Hopper and the challenges with the pellet sensor, this pot needs stirring!
While I like having a pellet sensor, I don't much care for the accuracy of the stock setup. The big issue is that as the auger draws out the pellets, a funnel shaped trench grows which causes false pellet level reporting. On long cooks I'm often opening the hopper and leveling the pellets by hand and being a tech head, can't just let this be. Engineers are known to tinker until they break stuff.
This thread will chronicle my failed and final quests for accurate pellet level reporting.
