That sounds like it'd be just about right for drying out some stick
welding rods I've had sitting around for years.

Comments?

Did mine in the propane Bar-B-Que Have thermo control and multiple measurements.
I did it in an old cooking tray - that is now a shop tray to sort parts in.

Easy to do it there. In the house - you don't have control of the ramp up - on - down.

Normally you need more than 2 hours at temp... Read the data.

I put mine into plastic sealing bags and drew a vac to seal. Used a fold of
Cola box (thin but dense cardboard) folded over the metal ends as they are sharp.

Then I found some surplus Ammo boxes - just the size of 100# of sticks - with a rubber seal.
Nice box - but heavy when full. (found at the army surplus store)
