I experienced the same problem with my Amerique. It's moisture in the smoker causing a slight leak that trips the GFI. If the Amerique sits to long, some moisture builds up inside. My solution:

1. Run an extension cord plugged to a NON-GFI outlet.
2. Set smoker to max TEMP (300).
3. Run for 30 mins.
4. Let cool down.
5. Move back to your outside GFI.
6. Smoke away.

I have had my Amerique since 2006 and this works every time.

I LIKE that solution.  Thanks!
