Stanbroil Auger Motor Replacement for Pit Boss/Traeger/Camp Chef Wood Pellet Grills, AC120V 60Hz 2 Pole Universal Auger

Auger motor for 700 pb pellet grills works great

The factory motor in my Traeger Pro 34 started getting worse and worse, and eventually just could not move the auger any longer(it was hardly used, which is the sad part). Anyway I needed a motor, and needed one fast, as my Wife decided we're doing the turkey on the Traeger this year. I ordered this unit Friday night, and it showed up in my mailbox Sunday! Within 15min I was up and running! My Traeger has never, since day 1 sounded this good, or operated this well, which leads me to believe my factory motor was never 100%. As of writing this review it is 11/27/19, I've only used my Traeger twice since replacing it with this motor, but the real test will be when cooking the turkey tomorrow, but from the looks, I assume this motor should give me a few years of good service. Hec for $23, how could one go wrong. Quick word of advice for those working on any hardware under the hopper of a Pro Series Traeger. Unscrew the 2 screws keeping the temperature dial faceplate on, which will allow you push that piece through the hopper, allowing the hopper to completely come off, and not be in the way. I was foolish the fist few times working on the Traeger, and only ever unscrewed the 4 screws hoping the hopper on, in which case the hopper was still very much in the way. I'll update this review later, and see how this motor does long term. Update: 6/12/2020 Well the first one of these failed after about 6 1/2 months of use. Motor just got super weak, and got to the point it simply wouldn't push pellets any longer. I reached out to customer service, and received a reply within a few hours. Somehow, someway, they managed to get me a new motor the following morning! Impressive. Hoping this new unit will at least give me a year of use! Will leave a 5 star simply for how fast they were able to replace my unit. Thank you!

Installation easy works perfect

Worked great on my Traeger Select Elite. This is actually the same motor used by the OEM, right down to the sticker. Keep that in mind if you are looking for a 2 RPM motor as this is described , it is not. This is a 1.6 RPM motor. I was looking for a 2 RPM motor to try and get the high temp up a bit in the Traeger. I subtracted one star on my rating for the false description. But I needed a replacement motor to get the grill going and this did the trick! NOTE: If your auger jammed from moisture getting in. Check the gasket seal at the bottom of the hopper where it attaches to the feed tube. Mine was misaligned allowing water to get in when I got caught in a rain storm before I could get the cover on. Replacing this gasket with some new weatherstrip solved the problem.

Noticed the Auger wasn't running in my Traeger grill. Took the grill apart and noticed my motor wasn't even engaging when I turned the grill on. Immediately knew I needed another motor. Bought this for half the price of the Traeger name brand model. Just have to remove the old motor with a 7/64" allen wrench and a set of needle nose pliers for the nut. Very easy to do. While you are there, you might as well clean out your auger, since your auger could have been jammed in the first place, causing your motor to burn up. The auger is just held in place with a single screw, you cant miss it and its all very easy to take apart and install. Definitely came in clutch as my grill died less than a week before Thanksgiving. Cant beat the free 2 day shipping and paying half the price of a name brand motor.

It fixed my pellet grill, works better than when I first got it

This is the second time that I have had to replace my motor. The first one did great. Then the auger seized up from not being used in a while and the motor broke when I kicked it on. (not the motors fault) The second replacement works great as well. My son had to replace his and used the same motor... No problems for him.

If there is a difference between this motor and the one Traeger sells, it's the price. Traeger's auger motor is twice as much. They look exactly the same. I replaced my original motor with one of these and so far, so good. We will see how long it lasts but for now five stars.

Direct replacement for the Pb700b1. Easy to install and my smoker is up and running again.

Replaced Traeger Lil Tex auger motor. Easy to install and works well.

It fixed my grill

Great replacement part for my Traeger barbecue - simple install and I was up and barbecuing again!

Looks exactly like the one it is replacing. I hope to get another 10 years out of my grill
