    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    Thank you for the instructions.  When I turn on the meter with the dial in the 12:00 position, the meter display reads 1.  Testing between the two spades, the meter reads .27.  Between each spade and the ground, the meter stays at 1, so it does not change.

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    Ok... I have purchased a multi meter, but I have to confess... I have no idea how to use it or how to conduct those tests... The instruction manual is kind of useless. This is the meter I picked up from home depot...

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    I bought the circuit checker and believe it or not the outlet tested fine.  I did not buy the volt meter as I was not sure what kind to buy, plus I was not sure I wanted to make that investment, not knowing how expensive it would be. I also bought a 12 gauge extension cord.  I have not tried to...

    Central Florida Butcher?

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    The GFCI is on the outlet not the breaker.  I will have to pick up one or both of those gadgets to check things out further.  I was able to run the smoker all day on an outlet on another circuit, but, I had to string two extension cords together to get to that other outlet and I know that is a...

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    Thank you for all the good thoughts.  I am able to use other devices on other outlets that are on the circuit, but I will test that outlet directly with the hair dryer.  I do not have a digital volt meter, but will look into getting one!  An excuse to buy a new toy!!  Yea!

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    Ran two extension cords (which i know you are not supposed to do) and tried an outlet inside and it seems to be working.  Doesn't make me feel very confident, but at least i am on my way for now.

    HELP! MB 40 Not Working

    I woke up good and early to start some pork shoulder to have for the long weekend.  I have a MB 40 that i bought from Sams about a year and a half ago. Every time i turn it on, it trips the GFI switch.  I tried plugging direct into the plug, switching extension cords, switching outlets, and...
