New 055 owner

I had my father rewire my outside plug so it was not a GFI until he did this it kept tripping. I plug it in direct no extension cord to cause problems.

I set mine on the outside porch where it is out of the weather (won't get rained on).

I put a large pan under the smoker to catch what ever moist grease might drip when I open the door. It is easier than cleaning off the concrete every time.

Be sure to poke a hole in the foil you line the bottom with if not it can't drain properly and will be a problem.

Welcome to the forum and many fine meals with your new smoker.

Again welcome to the forums....

I've never had a problem with a GFI outlet and my 055.

I have had my Smokette on a GFI for 5 years and narry a problem. It has never tripped it.
