Review on Enhance Your Pit Boss Wood Pellet Grills with Stanbroil Replacement BBQ Auger Motor Kit by Bradly Illu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

MUCH better auger motor for Pit Boss than stock 2.0 RPM

This is a must have for many pellet grills with a 2.0 RPM auger or higher if you want to get and maintain low temperatures ( 140° - 150°) and it will. The quality is not very good, but no worse than Traeger or Pit Boss. According to the manufacturer, this is 0.22 amps, just like the standard Pit Boss motor. This was confirmed by email, no stamp on the engine. An answer to a question I asked about amperage that says amperage is higher is incorrect. Installation is easy and takes 20-30 minutes including disassembling the hopper to gain access to the motor and auger. The trick is to first use a thin marker and ruler to mark the line where the auger slides on the motor shaft, as a pencil will hold it in place and you won't be able to easily tell the alignment. Find fewer loops and no stops when using quality pellets. You will be able to hold lower temperatures, however your top temperatures will reach around 475°C to hold them. I don't care - these grills are more for smoking and grilling than grilling, which is better done with a direct flame.
