I just sent this to Weber:
Hello!
This email is in the spirit of keeping you informed. Although this is an FYI unless there is any new software/firmware update, I would like at least a comment back. I think I have all the latest software/firmware, welded chute, and control panel. On low and slow cooks my temps have taken as long as an hour to stabilize. On a 350 cook 8 days ago it was rock steady. I use Weber pellets, shop vac the grill after each use, and use drip pans. I changed the chute in late April and started with new pellets. I emptied it today and found this, note photo. It would seem to me that the reverse auger during shutdown might contribute to this impaction. It would not budge with a strong shop vac. I had to attempt to start it to loosen it up. Sorry for the fuzzy photo but I think it shows enough.
Thoughts?
Thank you
Kevin Danby
