Whilst I am in no way an electronic mastermind, removing the battery breaks the circuit so ss far as I can see there is no risk of excessive surges which will fry your electronics.

When you're welding, the current is going from the ground clamp to the electrode, and the most direct path thereof.
I would put forth that disconnecting the ground from the battery is an adequate method to protect from stray voltage during welding. If you happened to be welding "RIGHT NEXT" to a computer module, I'd probably fully unplug the computer module too, just in case.
If you complicate the matter by say, having the vehicle chassis tied at a different point to the same earth as the welder (idunno, maybe you have a 110 house system attached, and it's plugged into a panel that's common bonded to earth with the welder) you could be asking for trouble and causing current to go in directions you don't want, and perhaps through things (like a power inverter or a vehicle computer)
For reference, GMAW (MIG Welding) is ~20 volts or so, and some amperage from 20 - 300 amps.

Sorry it has been a while, taking a full load this semester was a big mistake. That and my mom fractured her pelvis on superbowl sunday going snowboarding with me, so I had to take care of her last week. SOOOO.....Haven't goten anything done in the last 2-3 weeks. But yesterday I got a package I've been waiting for, for about 3 months. To bad its 70 degrees out now.
My new "Grand cook stove" it will be my heating, cooking, baking, and im going to impliment water heating, in cold climates. I was thinking about integrating it in with infloor heating but its already more stove than the bus needs so I will save that idea for a hobbit hole in the future.
I'll do another video on it once its installed and ive used it a few times.

How much is a stove like that. How do you control the temp?

Is this where you got it from. Is it 1/4" all the way around?

Id almost rather not say. It was my big splurge when I sold my house, but it was 2500 with shipping. And you control the temp like you would with any other stove with the type, size, and amount of wood and the air intake and damper. Yes i got it from Obadiah's.

So my "oceanside mom" came out to visit my real mom this weekend and droped off a mosaic of a pomegranate branch that she made for me to intigrate in to the harth.
