definitely patience is the key & welding round the stack is certainly best taken slowly.Weldun wrote:Patience,patience,patience! I know it's hard trust me, I have the patience of a gun fighter.
As I've mentioned before when all is said and done and you're sitting in a chair watching a smoker that you can't see inside of smoke ( those outside our circle don't get why we do this) you'll find every little flaw that was the result of being impatient, looks like you're on your way to having a really nice smoker. Stay the course, be patient and you'll have no regrets.
For what it's worth, when you weld around your stack where it penetrates the top of your smoker be cautious and weld a little at a time, if you weld continuously all the way around non stop it tends to warp the top skin.
