Welder Generator Stick

How big of a generator do I need to power my Stick Welder?

I just got a Lincoln Electric 225 Amp Arc welder and I don’t have a shop or garage with a 230 volt plug so I was just wondering if I can get a generator that could power this thing so I can use it.

Yes, you can. Check the max current draw (Amps) on the welder, and simply find a generator that has more output than that. It need not be huge, many service trucks in this area have them, a regular five or 8 horse power motor hooked to a generator with enough juice to do it can be rather small.
