Same here. Where do we get wires that fit into plugs?

Greetings gang,

I get my wire from a welding supply store. I get the 316 stainless. Other people get the 308 which is apparently stiffer.

They sell it in 3 foot lengths and by the pound. I believe I picked up 2 lbs and it ended up being roughlt 30 pieces or so. I know I got more than I expected.

Hope that'll help you.

For those of you in the Rhody area ABCO Welding on Jefferson Blvd has wire. PM Striper Swiper and he can hook you up with a very fair deal.

Everyone else try your local welding supply store.
