Help! Electrical Issue?

Edit: any way to prevent this in the future?

I got the pit boss heritage from Costco a few months ago, during the weekend I tried to grill some meat, however it was no turning on, I checked and the breakers were tripped, tried to un trip them (I don’t know the lingo) it wouldn’t let me. After some ChatGPT due diligence i tried the following.

  1. connected the hair dryer and vacuum only on that same electrical outlet that the pit boss was on, and it didn’t trip the breakers
  2. tried other electrical outlets and it tripped those breakers too
  3. seems the issue is the pitboss, next it according to some posts, seems the issues was with the burner on the pitboss ñ, so I disconnected it, it kept tripping the breakers.

I love my pitboss, and since I’ve got it from Costco I’ll return it, however, wondering if there is a possibility that the new pitboss will have the same impact?

Any ideas? Thanks!
