Reply to "New SM025 - Won't Start - Trips GFI Breaker"

So the trick is to run it empty for a good long time to dry out the element?

I'm not too concerned -- I've got a hole in a basement window from an old dryer vent and the non-GFI is right there -- but this is something I didn't expect (and hope isn't a serious issue -- although I'm assuming a non-GFI will always work?) The SO is gonna be none too happy if I have to run it on an extension cord from the non-gfi up through the basement onto the patio. We just spent $$$$$ to put in a separate 120V (for the smoker specifically) and a 220V (for my homebrew setup) on the outside of the house.
