I agree on the propane and moisture, just keep the rods in a dry place.

You would have the temperature capability however propane fired heat is
loaded with moisture. It would be like trying to dry something with
steam.
I don't think it would be as effective as electric heat.
If you need to dry your low hydrogen rod then you must be working on
some sort of welding code job?? Otherwise just use the rod out of the
pack
and keep sealed as much as possible.
I am trying to be a bit diplomatic about dry rod. It is not really
that
important unless you are doing critical work with low alloy steels or
welding steel over half inch thick.

I would like to know if 7018 rod can be dried in a gas grill. Mine is
relatively nice, made of stainless steel, and can do up to about 600
degrees F.

1. Would it effectively dry the rod

2. Would stainless steel of this grill be damaged by several hours at
hot temperature.

Thanks!
