If your Gfi is popping when you start your MAK.....
Check to make sure all of your cables are intact...sometimes there are issues with extension cords..
But usually the MAK is giving you warning that the Ignitor Rod is about to go.
You can still cook you just have to manually light the unit.
Start by disconnecting the igniter rod from the circuit board....from there you have many options for a manual light...a very small chunk of firestarter in the firepot, a olive oil soaked paper towel a map torch...just get the pellets going with the fan off...if you have the fan on it will usually extinguish all but the firestarter....once the pellets have lit then turn the fan back on put the deflectors and grates back on and you are cooking!
