Auger Motor.
The auger motor feeds the fuel or wood pellets into your grill for burning. The better quality the auger, auger motor, and temperature measurement system the better the results.

Your BBQ Pellet Grill combustion fan can be a cheap on an off fan, or preferably a fan that along with the auger motor and auger helps to regulate the temperature and speed of your cook. The fan can also influence the amount of smoke created by the grill.
Auger.
The auger is the rotating screw that feeds the wood pellets into the igniter and combustion chamber. The larger the auger, and the faster the speed the higher volume of pellets enter the grill combustion area.

Your igniter makes the magic happen and the pellets combust. The better quality of this part of your grill directly affects the longevity of your grill before repair or replacement. It also affects your experience every time you go to use your grill.
