shouldnt be a problem if your good with an arc and have the settings right and correct rod thickness for the steel your welding . youl most likely burn through tho if your not clued up with arc welding

Will probably blow holes in everything.
Stick welder should really be left to use on thick metalwork...

With arc you will blow through and there is a lot of heat so distortion will be more severe than with mig.
