Thanks Henry.
I'll do what Symes said andmake a wind break. Also, is it worth cranking the gas reg. up to the highest setting (6 settings and was using it on 4)

Presumably a full size bottle overcomes this problem :-\

If you wind the gas up the bottle will last very little time,Symes idea will work though :y

Can you not do in garage, just to practice?

Outdoors, you may need gas right up

Well saw your thread and thought---anf minute now fone going to ring---maybe you know that most motor factors do larger gas bottles-you need a different regulator though-sip do 1-I never bothered due to my 185 amp welder as well
