PSA: Stick welders vs flux core on outdoor structural jobs

Spent a whole morning fighting flux core on a bridge rail last week in 15 mph wind. Swapped to a stick welder with 6010 rod and finished the job in 2 hours. Anyone else found stick beats wire when the weather turns nasty on you?

Stick just works better when the world fights back, same as using a crowbar over a screwdriver.

Yeah @hannah400 nailed it, stick just handles the messy stuff better.

Are we really comparing survival tools like it's the end of the world out there?
