3 inch thick by 22 inch wide solid?!? If so thats a bit thick for a butt weld. you should probably concider a double bevel if possible, or a single bevel with a strongback, any way of insuring proper penetration, Another thing we need to know to help you with more info is the type of process and filler metal that you are using.
