Curt, Thanks for the welding info. I have been looking into different cast rod types, but info on the web is so mixed it's hard to know what actually works. I have little call to weld cast iron so it is good to see a piece actually done. Did you use your barbecue to preheat or an oven? how critical is the preheat temp.? did you have to reheat between passes? I knew that you had to relieve the weld with peening,but how long were your passes? Thanks again, Bill
