I'm thinking about getting rid of my propane turkey fryer and building a diy ebiab and control panel system.
My dryer outlet is fairly close to where I brew so I was thinking I could use the 240v there as a power source.
The problem is that it is only a 3 wire circuit and has no ground. I was hoping to add a portable gfci box like this one:

My guess is without a ground it would not offer adequate protection. Am I right on this?
My only other option is use the circuit my hot tub is using which is 50 amp but is going to be more difficult to use as the hot tub is hard wired in.
