Low hydrogen stick electrodes(ie E7018, E7028) are usully kept in an oven and maintained at 250°F min.
E71T-1 doesn't need to be kept in an oven, but stored in a dry place and stay in the plastic bag that it came in....unless, you are trying to use it on a Seismic Designed structure, then there are atmospheric exposure limitations and wire storage requirements that are imposed.
