The GFI tripped on two separate start up attempts. I took it to a completely different 20 Amp breaker in the garage that had a GFI at the end of the run just prior to the panel and NOTHING running on this one as well. Tried 2 different outlets on that circuit 2 times .trip! Crap. I had it plugged in to a 20 Amp back patio wall circuit with an AFCI breaker, that had NOTHING else running on it. I couldn't even trick it into a slow power draw by turning up the temp in 10 to 20 degree F increments, a minute or two apart. Unhappily, while attempting to run the "First Burn-in" phase, it began tripping circuit breakers. Happily I was able to unpack and set up my new Louisiana Grills vertical smoker and fire it up.

I am certain that the electrical panel is stacked with all AFCI/GCFI circuit breakers as per new electrical wiring code, but that sure doesn't help me that these overly sensitive breakers trip when one farts near them. This house is new construction, we just moved in this past December. Then light your smoker using the manual method Plug the appliance into a non-GFI outlet.īy disconnecting the Igniter, from the main wiring harness, your Country Smoker canīe run using a 12 volt, 100 watt inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. Each time a GFI trips it does increase in sensitivity. The quality of the GFI does not matter, rather the During the ignition phase, the igniter is drawing 300-700 watts of electricity which canīe too much power for a GFI outlet to handle. If your GFI outlet is highly sensitive to power surges, it will very likely trip during the ignition phase of This appliance will work on most GFI Outlets. The control use a 5 amp fuse to protect the board from the igniter. This appliance requires 110 Volt, 60Hz, 5amp service. Before plugging Pit Boss into any electrical outlet ensure Temperature
