This video chronicles the journey i undertook this summer to fix my mysteriously broken traeger grill.
At some point the auger quit turning and wouldn't feed any pellets into the tray to actually start and maintain fires and stuff.
Turns out that a cotter pin was missing for the shear pin which connects the motor to the auger. I ended up using a piece of cat 6 cable i had laying around to fashion a makeshift cotter pin and it's been working since then.
