Reply to "PG500 start failure"

Called Tony in Service and was told to plug the PG500 into a non-GFIC and then try again.

Grill acted normally. Tony said that most of the time it is 'water getting into the igniter which is causing a short.' He told me to get the grill to 300 and to let it run for an hour. This was supposed to 'dry it out' and then let it cool off for an hour. Then plug it into the GFIC plug and restart.

Did so and about 6 minutes into start got smoke then the GFIC blew. I forgot to turn off the switch and reset GFIC. Grill immediately began smoking and temp raised to about 120 degrees before it blew the GFIC again. Called Cookshack and left a voice mail. Hope they call before Monday. I have an Alton Brown City ham planned for Saturday and Brisket for Sunday.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
