Default Drying welding rod in a barbeque grill?

Off topic, but I find steam is quite effective at drying things. If
I'm trying to iron a hand washed shirt dry, it goes a lot faster with
steam enabled than disabled. And steam heat tends to be quite
effective at drying out _me_ to the point where my water consumption
has to go up dramatically.

But yes there's probably a limit on how dry you can get something with
steam. Not so sure about propane.

What's the ultimate concern anyway, water itself, or water as a
precursor to hydrogen?
