My smoker keeps tripping my ground fault receptacle. I plugged in other items and i had no problem with tripping the ground fault. I also had to change the female connector going to the heating element

If nothing else is tripping your GFCI, then there is a short somewhere in the wiring of the smoker. Check the female connector you had to replace, as well as that particular to see if you can detect any melting of the insulation or a bad connection of the other end.
Typically, electric smokers use high heat resistor wiring. So, something in the wiring is not like it should be. Or it may be the heating element itself. If it's still under warranty contact the manufactirer.
