It depends on the level of welding you want to achieve.
The best welders I’ve ever seen are artists, they stack dimes on top of dimes welding structural steel. Absolute artisans and their welds will pass inspections each time. The welds are inspected like a mother’s womb (whatever that’s called)?
You can teach yourself to weld but you’ll need a mentor to show you how to be an artisan welder.
I was a foreman for a steel erector. My best welders were amazing.

This is the thing. Practically any of us can learn enough to be functional with what we want to DIY. Professional, expert welders are nearly the equivalent of surgeons in my eyes. It’s a talent for sure.
You can surely learn enough to build your grill. Before spending a bunch of money, see if you know anyone who has a simple stick rig. Get some 6010, 6011, or 7013 rods and practice a bit. Some hands on instruction will be much more beneficial to you than videos, imo.
