I was monitoring the hopper to see how pellets would flow into the auger chute when only using about 3 lbs of pellets. At the start, I made a mark with my finger on the long ramp to see if pellets on that side would slide towards the chute. They didn't move before getting a low fuel alert. No big deal, the pellets over the chute opening are going to drop sooner. There is still room for improvement on the long ramp though.
After reading about using UHMW tape on the ramp I bought a roll. I'm going to tape the long ramp and on one side, away from the grill. The side next to the grill gets very warm when cranking up the temps. Probably not going to help the flow when only running a few lbs of pellets.
After my recent flame out, due to a pellet void, (almost full hopper) I'm going to give the tape a go. Seems like a band aid, but worth trying if it works as advertised.
Anyone else using UHMW tape? And find that it made a noticeable difference in pellet flow. Inquiring minds want to know. LOL
