ya i wouldn't worry about it.  obviously you'll want to get a stand for it but don't worry about the sides as long as it has a little bit of room on each side.

Traeger auger has quit.  It tries to turn, but act like it is stuck.
  Anyone ever took one of these things apart?

think you can empty the hopper and try to hand turn the auger to clear it out?

Tried that.  Ran a clothes hanger up the auger rube as well.

Afraid to crank real hard on it.

about 5 years ago had an issue with mine, called their customer support and they were pretty helpful, might not hurt assuming they are still working

Auger does not work under load.  Time to part shop or get Benji to sell me a hit and miss to run this thing.

Have you considered getting a male duck liquored up to help you with your smoker issues?
