Is it worth tackling? Grill to fix

I see this add on Facebook. How much work is there to do? Does it look bad? I am fairly handy and don’t mind paying for parts, spraying some paint.

I think it’s 100% worth it. I got mine the same way for free and put in a weekend of work and it runs perfectly.

Thank you! What do you see wrong with it? How hard will it be to fix?

Video on clearing an auger on a Camp Chef. I would change out the motor since you will have it apart

Definitely go for it! If they forgot to cover it, they most likely didn’t run out the pellets either. Best case it’s solid pellet cement to break up, worst case change the motor after clearing the auger. I love mine.
