Sorry for getting Technical - Russ could be right, It looks too hot,cooking the parent material will impact the grain structure potentially causing cracks in the (HAZ) heat affected zones (the edge of the weld bead). I know its probably only a grade 304 SS but heat inputs are still critical in the prevention of cracking in the HAZ. Glad you giving it a fair crack Bram!
