Sorry for the goofy title. I got a Pro Series 4 1300 from PitBoss for my anniversary, and this is the fifth smoke, first over night, that I’ve done on it. When I went outside this morning to wrap up the pig butt I laid down for a winter nap, I noticed the smoker is now making a loud noise. I think it’s the auger turning, but I’m not sure. I stayed outside with it the entire first smoke I did on it, and it never sounded like this. Just a bit concerned, wondering if this is an ok noise, or if I need to tear into it to look for something to fix.

My auger does this.
Sounds pretty normal to me.
Sometimes mine is a little noisier in the winter when its decently cold – and I have a Camp Chef WW Pro that’s a tier above yours. It’s definitely the auger – you can even see your pellets moving when it happens.
My guess is it’s a little tighter due to temperature contraction.
Just put a butt on this a.m. and noticed this sound from my auger as well. Not sure if it means anything since I’ve had auger bind up and burn out on me without warning.
It is in fact your auger making that noise. Pretty sure none of us can tell you if it is a “new” noise.
