I fully understand the moisture given off from propane. But remember the
temperature. This isn't the balmy Mississippi delta. The air expands very wide
and won't support water - it is rid of quickly. The rod is in a lipped cookie tray.

Better than the 90% and up background I was in - that is for sure.

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!
