Bull Electrical Problem Solved

[Fractal]

I had a heart-stopping experience, but fixed it. I thought it may be of use to anyone on here.

I just got my RT-700 and for my 3rd cook, invited a whole bunch of people over. The cook had to start at 4AM so when I went out there, and set everything up and plugged it in, it kept throwing the GFCI circuit. 30 minutes later and I'm dying.

After calming down I noticed that everything outside on my deck is dripping wet with dew. I turned on an outside standing fan to max and blasted the control box for 30 minutes. After that, everything was fine.

@Fractal man I would be freaking out too. While I've never had this issue, even with all the humidity we get here, it's a good thing it just kept tripping the GFCI and now burning something up.

So what are you cooking?

It was a pulled pork shoulder to be served at noon to the neighbors as we just moved to the neighborhood... talking about first impressions...
