    MES40 GFCI tripping

    For the last year or so my MES will trip the GFCI when the heating element is powered. That first trip happen after the heat has been on for 2 or 3 minutes; then it will trip every time instantly. If I let it rest for a while, and then keep resetting the GFCI, I've been able to eventually get it...

    I got a MES40 in October 2012 and an AMNPS, and have done pulled pork shoulder, ribs, a Xmas turkey, and most recently some herring caught in SF Bay. I'm really appreciative of the good info/advice from SMF, and I look forward to improving my techniques. Mike (ForageFish)
