Hey all-
New here, just got an SNP for Christmas, so it looks like I'm graduating from my vertical water smoker.
Anyway, I've read enough to know I want to make some mods before I cure this thing, so I have a couple of questions about metals I want to use.
My local hardware store's selection of steel plate includes stuff labeled as weld steel.
I assume if this is safe for welding, it's safe for use as a baffle- right?
I'll steer clear of the galvanized stuff for sure.
Also for the charcoal basket, I have an old grill-top veggie basket that I think is stainless- is there a way I can tell its stainless and not some plated metal? Tried a magnet and it does stick, but that doesn't say much I guess.
Thanks for your thoughts
