Has anyone tried Barbequed 7018's?
It seemed like a good idea at the time ...
I saw someone welding on some cast iron and they first barbequed that sucker, so I thought it might work for drying out some 7018?

Buy one of these....
I got one a while back at a yard sale for $5.
Put a handful of rods in, and turn it on....
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Yeah, and then when you weld you always smell "hot pockets" and leftovers

I think we can all agree...
Eating "Rocky Mountain Oysters" certainly takes balls!

If you have "wet" 7018 and Stick them to a piece of steel and let them heat up for like 5-10 seconds , will that take the moisture out and make them ready to use again? (Once they cool down)

Its a matter of opinion.....
Wouldn't meet code I'm sure.

John's right that it wouldn't meet code, but if they're freshly damp and haven't rusted under the flux, this method will drive off moisture, making them suitable for general-purpose work.DylanWelds wrote:If you have "wet" 7018 and Stick them to a piece of steel and let them heat up for like 5-10 seconds , will that take the moisture out and make them ready to use again?

If, however, they're very wet... They may react like damp 308/309 rod, which behaves a bit like popcorn... If there's enough moisture, and it all boils at once, the flux will explode off the rod. I've never had this happen with 7018, but with the hard-composition flux, I'd imagine it's possible.
That, by the way, is a relatively safe prank to play on a fellow hand who's welding 308/309... Wet one pretty good (soak it for a minute...), wipe it dry, slip it in his rod bag, and wait for the fun. About 2-3 seconds in, three or four inches of flux will abruptly fly in all directions with a distinct "pop".
