Tig will give you a pretty weld,,, but 7014 rod looks good too,,,It's a smoker not rolex,,,so how nice do it have to look,,throw some heat resistent paint on it and who will be looking at the welds
Clean the plate and pipe and Tig it, it will look better and Tig penetrates very well 1/4 to 3/8 full power ahead.Quote:
