Anything welding

Back to the Smoker Just what are you planning .

These plans are more toward throwing A cheap Cut of Pork or beef cooking it a low temperature till it is ready.

Not so much throwing on the Salmon you caught out of Lake Erie coming back a day or so later and your done using select wood to get your taste

Making assorted things people will smoke almost anything

 

Well I just started looking to this project.

It's probably more towards a "throw a cheap cut of pork or beefinto the smoker and call it a day". This guy is just a standup person and does a lot of projects to help me and his sister out. I thought it would be nice to put together a decent size smoker for him.

I watched few YouTube videos of people making smokers. I like the idea of up cycling food grade drums, or something of the like, but I also think building something from raw materials is badass.

His friend is in the smoking meet, but I don't think he's really in it to win a bunch of competitions. A simple smoker with some volume to get a couple racks of ribs on it would be a great fit.

Are you having any more thoughts on this? I really appreciate all your input so far!

 

Picked up a Lincoln 300D the other day. Good shape, 1500 hours, 2008, and new belts and filters. Scored it for a pretty good price. Little bit of cosmetic things here and there but it cranks right up and runs like a dream.

 

Anyone have experience with this?

Just what are you looking to use this for.

First I have seen anything like this.

That said any parts you need are going to be through this company

 

x2 (fixed for my sanity) or a career type center with tech trades.

 

^^sorry was in a hurrie

 

This

I did my entire SAS and axle flip with one, badass machine. I use flux core, I don't care about spatter and once you get used to the machine it throws minimal spatter anyway.

 

Hey fellas,
Where's the best deal for a Hobart 210 MVP MIG Welder?

 

https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/678611-hobart-handler-210mvp-mig-welder.html

That's where I bought mine from

 

Thats where i got mine as well. Sadly none of the local stores would match the price when I picked up mine.

 

Thanks for the link. I just got northern tool to price match it. I also had a $50 off coupon that pretty much covered the sales tax.

 

Can ya share the coupon code?
I'll try to do the same.

 

I got the coupon in the mail. $50 off $200 or more purchase.

You might be able to find one online.

 

Does anyone have recommendations for good torches at a good price?

 

Found an online coupon for $50 off. Code 253305 at checkout.
I went with the Hobart 140 MVP MIG/Flux Core.
$439 OTD.

 

Hey welder guys/gals!

What consumables and miscellaneous equipment do I need for my new Hobart 140 MIG/Flux Core Welder?

I have never welded a thing in my life. I want to weld stuff around the house and for minor truck mods- nothing fancy.

I've been trying to find a welding class that will fit my busy work/family schedule. No joy.

So I'm gonna try to learn the hands-on way. With some guidance from you guys.

Needs recommendations based on your experience, the good, the bad and the ugly.

I'll get the angle magnets, gloves, pliers, welding apron/jacket at HF.

Already have angle grinders, drill wire wheels and wire brushes.

Anyone have a good recommendation for high quality brand/model of welding hood outside of Harbor Freight?

Also, anyone have a good source for welding wire and other consumables? Local or online.
I'll probably buy the 10# spools.

I have a local source for gas. Do I need to buy a tank? If so, what do you recommend?

Help a noob out. I need to weld a few things.

Thanks,
Lloyd

 

OK, I went nuts today.

After ordering a Hobart 140 MVP from Northern Tool, I continued to do more price searching.

I checked my spam box and found that Tractor Supply has a 15% sale from 5-9 PM today only.

I scooted over there and they price matched the Hobart 210 MVP from their $899 to Farm and Fleets online price of $799. AND they took 15% off.

So final price was $699 + tax.

And I walked out of the store with it and didn't have wait for shipping.

I immediately cancelled the MVP 140 order.

Happy Father's Day to me!!!

 

I use a Lincoln Viking 3350 not cheap $250 TO $350, but I used it every day at work. very comfortable. it's most likely overkill. I have never had a Harbor Freight helmet. there is not one close to me up here.
as for a jacket I use the green cotton one about $18 @ Mcmaster carr
gloves I use a mix match on my gun hand I use a leather work glove nothing fancy just flexible. my other hand I use heavier arch welding glove.

hope this helps
