hello!
thanks for the welcome, I've spent an age reading stuff on here, i have had the smoker for a long time!
I'm UK based, the fuse board initially went so after resetting and trying the oven by itself on a unprotected outlet and that worked ok and didnt flip the house fuse.
I did try then experimenting with the digital smoker, plugging it into a RCD plug (i guess this is simular to the GFCI) and it worked ok until it tried to turn the oven on, at that point it flipped the RCD. i then rest tried blowing out the box with the compressor to move any gunk out but same thing.
I have used the smoker on the outlet before with no problems, i also use the same outlet for different devices
I did try running a power cord from another socket and the smoker behaved in the same way!
I'm still yet to check the fuse.....
