Looks as if I have a Gen 1 .
Ok . Good that you know . Don't take it as a negative . I'll have to recheck what the issues were .
I know one was grease fires . That's a non issue not Gen specific . So use a drip pan , clean it , and cross that one off .
Another was the cratering / bridging of the pellets . So they added a ramp in the hopper . Look to see if yours has the ramp . Either way , the ramp doesn't stop this . I just keep and eye on mine and when I check the food , I move the pellets . Another non issue . They also have a low pellet alarm . Great feature for a pellet fed grill .
There was something with the auger . You'll have to ask the person you got it from if the upgrades were done . This might be something you need to address , but I know guys that have the gen 1 with no upgrades and no issues .
What is also odd is that the pellet hopper has no finger guard in it…
Mine doesn't either because I took it out . Sounds like maybe the guy you got it from might have been changing stuff , so maybe they did some of the up grades .
Have you used it yet ? I would fire it up , and see if it needs to upgrade the software , Then let it run empty and see what it does .
I'll revisit the upgrades and see how you can tell if the auger was changed . If you know the person ask them if any of it was done .
