Stick welding stainless?????

Came across an interesting bit of information.
I had always thought that stainless required Mig or Tig... some kind
of gas shieding.
So today I find out about 308 and 314 stainless electrodes for stick?
Purportedly good for both AC and DC.
I have not seen these in the local shops. What kind of voltage and
current requirements are needed for these sticks? How do they "work"
compared to 6011/13 and 7014/18?
If these would be workable on a 110 hobby welder, it would be cool to
use for fishing pole holders and other marine items!
