We have a Traeger BBQ-old need to get Auger out.left pellets and its rust, cannot get it to turn against c? clockwise, we cleaned the old pellets that we can achieve, we sprayed coating of rust, now we have added some hot water .. waiting for a can of Coke to try it on the rust
Check this page Traeger ... find the section on how to remove the worm.

If all else fails give them a call at 1-800-872-3437, they are almost always able to help you.
The water is not good, adds more rust, coke is a joke - try WD40 penetrating oil around. Use lots and soak and work of the auger back and forth until it is free - may take some time
