Rich

That's what the city inspector said to a friend after they had an issue with one. He tried to make that same point about the buttons, but the inspector got into a lengthy discussion about electrical codes.

Why? because you don't know if the smoker tripped it or it's a faulty GFCI.

But the results above are the key point. When moved to a non GFCI it worked. That means either 1) the GFCI was bad or 2) there was a grounding issue in the smoker that doesn't show up on an non-GFCI plug.
