I'm confused, first the auger isn't held in by welds it's held in by set screws and if the auger fell out being a top feed stove the auger has to push pellets up the chute into the burnpot so if the auger did fall out how could pellets keep feeding.
sounds like when the auger broke it ate through the lower bushing and fell out. Mine has a lip on the bottom that rides up against the bushing keeping it in place. But i could see how it could happen and then gravity would take over emptying the hopper into the bottom.. (i have different stove). U sure teh welds broke or the screws holding things in sheared off or vibrated out?
