    Trager timberline 850

    Decided to do the ribs first, almost done and looking great, going to wrap and put in cooler while I do the chicken. I know the beer doesnt really do anything but I like the cook on the chicken when I use the rack. Plus I put seasoning and herbs in the beer to help flavor the chicken

    I was having the same issue with my gfci, after talking to an electrician he suggested I replace the gfci since after it trips a couple times makes it a ot easier to trip. Replaced it and haven' had any issues since.
