That's a damn shame. I haven't tried burgers on my UDS yet, might have to do that next weekend.

We're doing elk loin steaks and corn on the cob on the smoker grill for the 4th of July dinner. Follow up with fresh apricot pie and homemade ice cream. Perfect weather, good friends and family at the cabin--it's a great day!

Pork shoulder went on early this morning, it'll be paired with beans and some asparagus I put in a foil packet with bacon drippings and cracked pepper. Blueberry grunt and ice cream for dessert.

I started to smoke some elk loin and chicken in a mesquite dry rub, but the damn smoker kept tripping the GFCI outlet... wound up having to grill them instead. Whats the point in a free electric smoker from a garage sale if I can't plug it in to the outdoor outlet?

I'd rather not run an extension cord from a non GFCI outlet and leave the door or window ajar letting in the smoke.

If you're going to run a cord, go with a heavier gauge than normal. I'm running a 4' 10/3 i built.

Uh....maybe there's something wrong with it and that's why it was "free"?
