I do use a gas lense on all stainless welding. I backpurge all 18ga stainless header tubes. On butt welds using 16ga material I don't. If I use a formed collector I do backpurge because there is so much heat being generated in that one area. I also use 347 stainless filler on all my stainless and 309l on my mild steel headers. Thanks for the compliment. Oh, heat is the killer, so keep under control.
