It is better for you know the classification of rods so you know how to use them. It will then follow with your knowledge whether you need to use a rod oven or not. With this new knowledge, you are then not afraid of opening your package.

Lot's of good replies here!
Is there a place to obtain those silica packs other than scrounging them from electronic items we purchase?
Does anyone have any ideas or plans for building a DIY rod oven? I saw some good things on another post, but thought I heard a long time ago about making a metal box and installing a 100 watt light bulb inside to keep it warm? A small toaster oven would work, but with the lack of insulation, it would be costly to operate on a continuous basis.

hey fellow welder I have not heard any of our brothers comment on the 6010 to much so here goes.......Your on the farm correct well you deal with rust, grease, oil and many other elements. I also love 7014 its a fast fill fast freeze rod that burns hotter and deposits alot more material you can weld in all positions with it as well. But as I started, on the farm you need deep penetration and may not have access to clean metal. So I would, if I were you get used to the 6010 run it dcrp and keep it handy its a pain for first timers but the weld is deep and will hold up when you need it most.....I may not have answerd all of your question but I hope I added insight
