    In really depends on your situation, in a perfect world this is how I would do it. I would butt weld it but leave a gap of a 1/32" and put a alum. brass or copper plate behind it to pull the heat away from the metal. Tack it up all the way down the seam keeping the tacks as far apart from each other as possible. Stop when you feel things are getting to hot and let it cool off. If you dont have the patience to do it right then you might want let some one else do it.
