Evening folks,
About a year ago my Lodge no 12 cast iron dutch oven developed a crack in the very bottom. Not sure how but ovens larger that 10 aren't that easy to come by. I've been looking at youtube video's about a fix but they just confuse me. I've never welded CI but I cut my teeth on stick welding, have a flux core and mig welder that I'm not very good at, and haven't brazed in 30+ years. I'd like to fix it right. Any suggestions? I see the CI welding electrodes but they are all .125 and I'm worried that may be a little to large since Lodge's aren't that thick. I have a great way to pre and post heat to cool down, so that's not a problem. I can practice brazing but would kinda prefer the fix be cast or steel.
Thanks
