good luck with the stainless vertical weld. i've been welding for around forty years and am now working as a maint. welder in a large prison complex. whenever i have to do kitchen or laundry repairs it's usually on stainless of an un-known type. it's old and banged up from years of neglect and severe (and i mean severe!) abuse. lincoln stainweld 310-16 is excellent for welding vertical (up with stainless always!). this rod runs on ac or reverse (Electrode-pos.) polarity, i use reverse. 309 is good also but i prefer 310. it's what i always use for welding stainless to regular hot rolled steel. when vertical welding start with the lower half of the recommended range (on a scrap piece if possible). one other thing, always wear safety glasses or a flip up shield when welding stainless cause the slag flies (flys?) when it cools and always seems to hit you in the eye or similar sensitive spot. oh yeah, stringers only!
