I took the advise of a guy that bought a $28 Home Depot vac head that fits on any Home Depot 5 gal bucket. I just vacuum out the pellets close the bucket and burn off what’s left in the auger. I have another bucket I use for ash. Easy peasy……..

I have an old Traeger with no hopper clean-out chute, and I removed the internal grid. I store pellets in 5 gal. buckets. To empty the hopper, I use a $26 Bucket Head vac I got from Home Depot. It snaps right on the bucket.

I went and got one today. Had a pellet bridge form from some longer than desired pellets, and then found at the bottom that a bunch of them had turned to dust, then solidified, jamming the auger shoot. The Buckethead was exactly what I needed and now my smoker is rockin' once again. Thanks for the comment!

So you can vacuum the pellets right out of the hopper and back into the storage bucket. Clever!

They should've install a primer button to clean it better if they weren't gonna add a release thing for the pellets

I empty out my mini ash vacuum then suck up the unused pellets from the hopper. No need to remove the "safety grill" that's inside the hopper with this method.

Can you just not put the screws back? Is there enough of a ledge for the "cage" to sit on? Thanks PS. 700D arrives tomorrow! So exited.

I said the same thing. No purpose to screw them in.

I have not done this, yet, but when I do I will likely replace the screws, but not the cage... That way I won't loose the screws, and the cage should be easy to find.

I haven't ever done that. I keep it outside. It's 3am and I keep having to stir the pellets to get it going again right now. I think it's jammed from leaving the pellets for months. I hope the cage easily removes on mine too (Sportsman from Costco). Thanks, do you have any videos on cleaning these things?
