First timer

Hi guys! Brand new to smoking and look forward to learning from you all! I haven't even gotten my first smoker yet, but thought I'd say "Hi." I ordered a Camp Chef ZG and now I'm just waiting to pick it up from my local Dick's.

First question, that I can't seem to find an answer to: do you have to/should you remove the pellets that are left in the auger tube after a cook? We're getting into the fall (cold and damp) season here (Northeast Ohio), and I don't want to have to take the unit apart to remove clogged up, wet pellets!

Thanks!

Welcome to SMF from Minnesota. I have a Camp Chef Woodwind and I have never removed the pellets from the auger and have stored it under cover in the winter and it starts right up where it left off in the spring. Your mileage may vary.

Thanks, Kruizer!

Do you have the Camp Chef cover? No issues with leaving it out in the winter (corrosion)?

Yes I have the Camp Chef cover for mine and no corrosion problems.
