| Subject: | Smoker GFCI question |
Non aviation question for y'all: I just installed a new outlet on my patio,
so I can use my electric smoker and an electric fan without an extension
cord. The fan works great. The smoker is ok when first plugged in and
turned on so it connects to the WiFi. But a few minutes after turning the
smoker's heating element in, the GFCI trips.
It's a Char-Broil electric smoker, 750W. It's a new, weatherproof 15A GFCI.
Thoughts?

So the questions are:
-Is the ground plane better to be square/ round/ or hexagon/ or some other
shape?
Why not eliminate the need for ground planes with
vertically polarized dipoles mounted to inside surfaces
of empannage?
https://tinyurl.com/y3w4hf8y
-If the diameter of the ground plane cannot be exactly a square and the same
dimension as indicated on the installation guide what is the problem(s) with
it being slightly to wide or slightly too narrow than spec, or if the
antenna is not installed in the exact center?
ditch the ground planes
-The book says the two antennae should be mounted at least two feet from
each other so what if they were installed closer.or even co-located on the
same ground plane?
Mount one on left side forward, the other
right side aft. Getting separation shouldn't
be a problem.
-What about mounting these masts near human body parts (ouch)?
-What about mounting these masts near other avionics or other electrical
equipment?
back in the tail?

My 1st troubleshooting step is 'elimination'.
Have you tried a different device with roughly the same power
consumption (maybe a small electric space heater) to see if the breaker
still trips?
Have you tried the smoker on a different GFCI circuit?
