    Dumb question

    I've never foiled my brisket or mopped it.  I get a nice full packer, untrimmed with a THICK fat cap, rub it down good, place it in a vacuum bag over night then let it cook all day.  But it's always been in the summer and we eat alot later in the summer

    fan in smoker???

    Hopefully a picture saays a thousand words.  I used a speed control to regulate the motor speed.  Basically just fast enough that the smoke doesn't come out the generator box, about half speed.

    fan in smoker???

    I've got a 4" duct fan on a speed control in the new smoker I'm building but have a heat issue so haven't done any hot smoke yet.  Did a test run and worked great to pull the smoke into the main box from the smoke generator box.

    bending stainless

    When dealing with gauge numbers.  The higher the number the smaller or thinner the material.  So if a break is good for 28 gauge it WILL NOT bend 18 gauge.  Find a HVAC shop to bend it up for you

    mig would be good but a tig is the best for stainless steel.  mig is kinda like running a caulking gun, once you get the setting set correctly..  welding is an art for sure but some of it can be simple.  You can get a cheap mig welder for around $650, get some stainless wire, tank of gas, and...

    stick is totally different than mig.  To stick weld the thin steel you are wanting to use would very very tuff to weld with a stick welder.

    If you have access to 240v, I would go for electric.  You won't have to mess with it as much. I thought about doing a propane setup out of an oven so i would have good temp control but electric was easier for me.  And in that big of a smoker I don't want to risk lossing 100+ lbs of meat cause...
