I wanted to weld up some bits of rebar outside, and the wind was quite
strong. So, ideal time to try it in MMA mode... and wow what a
difference! You can strike an arc with ease, it runs quiet and smooth
with a really nice stable DC arc, and makes it almost easy to get
pretty decent results with relatively little skill or practice. No
buzzing, spluttering, or sticking either.

Of course gasless wire would have done the trick too.

IME gasless wire is a bit sensitive to wind too.

Any more than separate gas in windy conditions?

Not unaffected, but still far less sensitive...

(if you look at some of the more recent project Brupeg welding, they
have been doing lots of flux core, so as to cope with the wind)
