Well I gave the grill another try today.

I found an outlet that wasn't GFI and tried it there. This time it worked fine and heated up nicely. The only thing I noticed was that one area of the cord got quite warm.  I wonder if there is a weak spot in it and that was causing the GFI outlets to pop. It appears to be a fairly common cord so I think I can get a replacement at an electrical supply store.

I'm really excited that there isn't any major problems with it. Now it's time to order a new Zavdle for it and get on with the second "R".  8)

@zavod44

If Jeff could remove his knob and take detailed measurements and photos, would that be enough for someone to create a CAD drawing? Or would they need to have a knob in front of them to draw it?
