Pellets in the auger are fine if you put the cover on. If you leave it uncovered for a week of frost and rain, the pellets will get wet and set like concrete. Hence stripping the auger. I use mine most weeks in the summer and every other week in winter, basically for the Sunday roast in winter with wedges

@Ramsaye cheers, I'm looking forward to using it well eating stuff from it.
Appreciate the tips excellent info. I got myself a cover yesterday, was using a tarp previously, and a thermal blanket so hopefully I'm 'covered'.
I assume leaving pellets in the auger tube but could lead to them getting damp if not used frequently? What sort of use does yours get? Weekly less/more?
I'm now on the lookout for a little table/stand to raise it up to a usable height more like BBQ height. Ikea have nice BBQ table/stand but at £80 it's a bit expensive given that it's not ideal.
I might have a crack at making something and include some hidden watertight storage for the pellets, decent lockable wheels, waterproof box for the electrics and some working space.
Why did you have to strip your auger?
cheers
