I want to put a therm in my HLT kettle, so I got some weldless fittings. Now I need to cut a hole in the kettle. It is a super flimsy stainless kettle. What is the easiest technique? I don't have a dremel (yet), I just have a crappy drill.
Bonus question: This kettle has some cracks in the stainless at the top (on opposing sides, from bending or something). They are vertical cracks about an inch long on one side and 2 inches on the other that go to the top of the pot. Is there anything I can do to repair those cracks?
