Yeah , might be able to double nut the open end , and use a wrench to turn it back and forth .Was thinking about that idea when I read your idea

Porta power has some attachments that will work in the limited space. Even the Harbor freight kits are a little pricey though.Been doing some research in regards to using a bottle jack, assuming I can find one short enough to fit the space between the auger tube and the far wall.
Hey Doug, that portable 4 ton hydraulic jack might be a better solution than the bottle jack I was looking at. Got to call their tech service to get the actual length of the ram section when closed. There is one available at a local Harbor store. thanks for the link!Porta power has some attachments that will work in the limited space. Even the Harbor freight kits are a little pricey though.
The spreader in the main kit is what I have in mind.

Appreciate the link, thanks David!Or at flexible water jet this one gos on a hose, but I saw some for power washers.
If the ram section is too long to fit, you could use the dowel and blocks with the spreader attachment that comes with it, or the same with addition of the short body ram.Hey Doug, that portable 4 ton hydraulic jack might be a better solution than the bottle jack I was looking at.

Awesome . I knew you would . Sometimes you just need to walk away , and talking about it makes you think . Even if the suggestions aren't used , it sparks a thought .I got it out!
The Smokefire ( drop auger ) runs in reverse and dumps the pellets back in the hopper . Thinking you can't do that with an inline ? , but I've always thought there should be a manual switch to run the auger after shut down to empty the chute . Maybe some models have that feature .No book, everything one needs to know is in the one sentence: After the smoke, always dump the pellets, let the auger run out into the pot, then cover the smoker.
A most excellent outcome!It's ALIVE! The motor auger assembly arrived this afternoon. Got it all back together, hit the power button, it fired right up and the auger turns. Big thanks to MAK! You definitely get what you pay for!
