What is an Auger Box?

The auger box is an all-new feature that will be on the Woodridge grill. While most grill components are located in the hopper of a grill, the auger box is a whole removable section. This will help customers see clearly if a part needs to be replaced.

Tools Needed

Pro Tips

  • Get a second person to help when removing and reinstalling the auger box to prevent damage to the wire harness.
  • All screws, unless otherwise noted, are 1/4-20 X 1/2" screws.
  • Create a secure space to set aside hardware. As you remove hardware, keep them separated in groupings according to step.

Replacement Steps

  1. Prepare the Grill for Servicing
    1. Turn off and unplug the grill from the power source.
    2. Empty all the pellets from the hopper. 
  2. Remove the Auger Box (Additional person recommended)
    1. Unplug the power cord from the auger box.
    2. While one person supports the auger box, remove the x4 screws from the underside of the grill.
      Caution: The auger box will fall if not supported, and damage to wiring harnesses can occur!
      Woodridge Elite:
      We recommend removing the back-left screw (inside the cabinet behind the auger box) first as it's the most difficult to see and access.

    3. Slowly lower the auger box until the hopper wire harness is exposed. Detach the connector and remove the auger box from the grill.

    2. Lift the auger box up into the grill, ensuring that the hopper wiring harness is tucked into the cavity next to the hopper, and attach with the x4 new screws.
    3. Reattach the power cord to the auger box.
  4. Service Complete. Prime the auger and Traeger on.
