Arc Union High-Quality Lightweight Temperature Controlled 20 lb Dry Stick Welding Electrode Oven - Portable 115V Capacity Thermostat Adjustable 80-300 Degrees Stabilizing Welder Rod Storage, Black

The lid is un-insulated and wastes a lot of heat.

It was a gift for our son who is learning to weld. He was thrilled that he could keep the rod dry.

It appears that this rod oven will work well for me and it appears to be a well made product.

Amazon wanted me to rate the sheerness of it. SMDH Its a welding rod oven with temperature control. Holds roughly 20 pounds of rod. We bought three, one damaged in transit. I fixed it myself.

Easy to use, low current draw, keeps more than a days worth of electrodes dry and ready to use.

Really good deal, and does just what it supposed to do- arrived damaged. I waited months to receive it, so elected to repair it myself rather than return/ exchange it.

No dividers make for an absolute mess of electrodes.

Quality quality quality rugged design already put through 200 hours in the field rain sleet snow it just keeps on ticking like a Timex!!

It works as advertised.

Great capacity for my needs. Heats fast and holds the temperature well with minimal heater cycles. Outside gets warm and increases towards top (heat does rise). When I first put my old 7018 rods (2 lbs) into the oven and set temp to 360 degrees, after about an hour, I lifted the top to check on it and water droplets dripped down. My rods were soaked going into the oven! May have to pitch them. I found it to be a hassle to pull the rod holder out and have the rods spill out in all directions. I made a simple modification by adding a cage (using 1/2 hardware cloth and a bending brake) to contain the rods. See attached photos. This is a work in progress, as the cage rides up when the holder is pulled out. I need to try 1/4 hardware cloth to minimize the top of the rods from becoming lodged into the cloth openings. I also need to figure out how to secure the cage to the bottom of the holder so it remains fixed and does not move, without altering the form, fit & function of the oven. So far Im very pleased with the rod oven and confident that it does not pose a fire hazard when left operating overnight.
