Question for an electrician/person who is handy

Mike,

I need something clarified in your explanation...

When you say the breaker trips, do you mean the circuit box breaker, or the GFCI? And what is the breaker rated at (15 or 20 amps)? How many amps does the BBQ require to operate?

I'm no expert, by any means, but when I built my new garage and wired it for electricity. I installed 2 separate 20 amp circuits, each protected by a GFCI. My GFCI was installed as the last receptacle in the line of 12 outlets. Only the last outlet is a GFCI. but all of the outlets are protected by that unit.

I was curious if the GFCI you are referring to is an outlet type (with a reset and test button) or if the GFCI is located in your circuit breaker box.

Charlie

Hey BTW, how have you've been?
