With all of the bad publicity the Smokefire and folks who do own nor have used a Smokefire continue to spread the exaggerations to any and all I like seeing someone solve a weakness of the Smokefire. Owners determined to make it work for them came up with several ways to improve pellet flow once the pellet guard is removed. You can polish the long ramp in the hopper with steel wool. That's lots of work. You can wax it with car wax or you cn coat it with UHMW tape. They all make it slicker and the pellet feed problem almost disappears. A fella I know came up with a vibrator on the hopper and it works. I think you'll find this interesting and you could do it yourself if you wanted to. https://youtu.be/pSx6SQ0s9aI
