OK replaced the HOT ROD and fixed nothing.  >:(        I know it's either another bad hot rod or the board is bad  >:( >:( >:( >:(

I can unplug the hot rod and the unit runs fine just have to lite with a tourch.     

It would trip the GFI within 30 seconds of running everytime, but if I unplug the hot rod then I can run the unit all day.  I'm not spending anymore $$$$ on repair I'll just lite the thing with a tourch

I may try Don's idea of straight wire and Terry's idea of no GFI (remember my oldest son was a fireman) so I'm covered for stupidity   :D :D :D :D

Tommy, maybe it's finally time to get that MAK you've always wanted.

Ha! Would this work? Sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness after the fact than to get permission before.

If your Traeger "disappeared" you'd be short one, and would need a replacement. I'd post a big grin here but can't figure out how. Clicking on them doesn't seem to work.
