MIG is out.(clip)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I use a MIG outdoors, with flux-core wire and no gas. This has the added
advantage that the welder is easier to haul around. Also, I can flip a
switch, and I'm ready to weld--no opening and closing bottle valve, or
adjusting flow. My welder is a Lincoln, but I can report that a friend of
mine has a HF wire feed welder, and he is happy with it.
