Well, you should grind off all of the galvanizing before you weld. The 
"smoke" is the zinc fumes from the zinc burning off the metal, and it 
is _very_ toxic.

Take care,

I have done some welding on galvanized metal and have noticed it tends to
smoke.  Why?  What should I know about this distinctive difference? 
Thanks Brad
