Just a reminder that if you do pull the auger, put a bucket under the exit there. No, I didn't learn this the hard way, why do you ask? [finishes sweeping his patio]

Reading through this thread I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway: Is there anyway to make the auger completely disgorge whatever pellets remain in chute without removing the whole assembly? Seems like it could be a simple software driven maintenance/cleaning mode selection. Temp cold, hopper empty, glow plug off, auger on. Maybe I'm over simplifying this (or over complicating it).

Nope but it only takes 5min to remove the auger out and do it that way.

Back to the original post, I have really enjoyed the flavor of the Knotty Wood pellets lately. My closest stores don’t sell Weber pellets anymore unless I go to an Ace hardware. Home Depot does ship to home for free in my area with Knotty Wood. Give it a shot.
Since we have some new members on the forum, I wanted to bump this post.
With all the new brands & flavors out there, what's currently your favorite pellets to use?

I find they work well for me, but I will admit I also like the Costco pellets as well. The only pellets I have found that I did not like were the Sam's Club pellets.
I'm a fan Bear Mountain pellets. They are only $10 a bag at Academy. Also during the holidays their website will offer some pretty good deals.

I've used a lot of different kinds of pellets but I like Req-Teq Ultimate Blend Pellets (Red Oak, White Oak and Hickory) best. They get to 600F no problem and are low ash.
Plus, the Oak flavor can't be beat.
They are $35 for a 40lb bag and if you buy two you get free shipping on Amazon.
