Default Another MIG question

Just so you'll understand......

.....if you're buying a flux-core welder, you are NOT buying a MIG.......

The "G" in MIG stands for "gas"........

Hello all, I have been considering getting a MIG welder for the last few
years for simple projects and repairs. I thought I had narrowed it down

to
a cheap flux cored one because I have to work outdoors and my thinking

was
that any shielding gas might get blown away. However it seems that flux
cored wire for stainless is not available or at least I couldn't find any

on
Lincoln's website. Is this correct? Then to make me more confused I saw


some gas shielded- flux cored wire. Can this be used without the gas?
Thanks for your help,
Gene
