Fired up the Treager last night around 8pm to smoke a 14 pound brisket.
About 3 min in to the warm up I heard a noise I have come to loath. Sure enough the gfi outlet tripped.
I reset it and tripped again. Tried a Manuel start and nothing. Keeps tripping the gfi. I busted out the portable battery backup and plugged in to it. Presto!
Rain was forecasted and 18 mph winds present. Didn’t want the battery getting ruined
Popped the side cover on big Jake and rolled everything over.
It was around 9pm at this point and everything should stay dry for the night. Treager set at 180. Off to bed
9 hrs In I took a look
It was looking nice.
Wrapped when it got to 170 at 715 am. Turned Treager up to 220 at that point also.
The battery is still going strong
Brisket flat is at 179 according to the trusty FireBoard. Time will tell how it turns out. I need to order a detent rod and a spare.
