    I'm in Sacramento, Calif and he did a show on a local joint called "The Squeeze In".  Kinda unique for melting the chheese to crispy, gooeyness.  But is was just a burger, nothing special.  Now they seem to be a local chain/franchise? Guys' "Tex Wasabi" restaurant was crap and now changed to...

    It was perfect 3 years to the day...Then something went wrong!

    most GFIs instaledl in homes are 15AMP.  Also, you may just have a faulty GFI(that's my bet).  Try plugging into a true dedicated 20amp circuit without the GFI. Remember that the longer the run the lower the voltage which cause higher current draw(amps), specially with the use of extension cords.

    I have an electric smoker and in speaking with Todd, he recommended the pellet tray in electric smokers and gas smokers, too.  The tubes were more for webers and other gas grills.  This may have changed since last Nov. when I bought mine. As for the types of pellets.  My favorite so far is the...
