Cliff,
When I plug weld, I use a very slow wire speed and the highest heat setting 
on my Craftsman 110V mig welder. I use straight .022 wire with gas(set at 
10cfm) and start in the center of the hole and work to the adjoining metal.
With plug welding, you run the risk of sinking too much heat away and never 
penetrating the center. It's imperative that the center get molten...then the 
adjoining metal will melt into the center.
Good luck
