    Sealing up the GMG Davy Crockett

    So I finally joined the world of pellet heads with a Davy Crockett. So far, I've only test fired it twice. It took me a little bit to get the wifi hooked up and rolling right but love the app now that I figured that out. The one thing I noticed is that it really seems to be leaking a lot of...

    Pellet Smokers for RVers

    I just got a GMG Davy Crockett. So far, so good. Size wise, it is about perfect for the RV. Especially with the additional carry bag and the stock 12volt power system. I know that played a big part of why I picked it over the Camp Chef Pursuit.

    Emergency: Just finished the rub on my pork butt and my MES is tripping the GFCI and not turning on.

    Success!!!!  I started my birthday morning with Carolina style pulled pork in a taco.  It's a South Texas Redneck thing for sure. After having it smoke all night, I plugged it back into the GFCI outlet and it runs without problem. I highly suspect it was trapped moisture causing the short...

    There will be Swine.... Oh yes.... There will be Swine! Thank you to all for the information. I moved to the front of the house and found a non-gfci. That's all it took to be back in the game. Hopefully the heat from this smoke will dry out my internals. Will have to find a better cover or...

    I can tell you this.  If it isn't easily repairable I'm going to switch to a propane unit.  I was really enjoying the fire and forget simplicity of the electric.

    Emergency: Just finished the rub on my pork butt and my MES is tripping the GFCI and not turning on.

    Plan for now is to wrap the Pork Butt and put it in the chill chest overnight.  Will leave the smoker open to the breeze overnight and see if it makes a difference.  If not, will take the pig hunk to the in-laws place and put it on their Green Egg. Calling Masterbuilt in the AM as well because...

    Emergency: Just finished the rub on my pork butt and my MES is tripping the GFCI and not turning on.

    Yes on heavyweight extension cord but I also plugged it in directly and it tripped again.  No non-gfci outlets outside or in.   The wiring on my house just surprised me as it is an outdoor outlet on my back patio (no visible GFCI) but it wired into the GFCI in my Garage on the front of the...

    Emergency: Just finished the rub on my pork butt and my MES is tripping the GFCI and not turning on.

    Anybody know what's going on or seen this before? We just had 5 days of serious rain.  I have a MES 30 that stays covered but some rain can work through the cover over time. (I found this out when I uncovered it)  I bought this unit at HD about a year and a half ago and have used it about 10-15...
