cheesy, in my experience with stick (very limited...LOL) i have found the best amperage for good penetration and ease of arc striking is usually about 10a over the recommended amperage setting....LOL although that does depend onn the thickness of the material as well... welding 20ga steel with 1/16th rod at 60 amps is like trying to weld it with a cutting torch....LOL
also and fyi i have had pretty good luck with harbor freight welding rods... they are quite cheap from what i remember too....
