I just purchased a welded stainless flue pan that has seen some use ( non-magnetic). I noticed a few small pin holes in the front of the flues when I was cleaning the pan. I was just looking for some comments on how to fix these, hoping the pan has some life left to it.

Thanks

lead free solder. It would be easier to do then welding it. Since it has holes it probably won't hold up to welding and it would make the hole bigger

if its a welded pan simply weld it again, likely the holes are damage from getting hit with wood it sounds like. as long as its non magnetic its unlikely it pitted from soot so most likely just was damage or a error when welded new. simply tig it up or have someone tig it for you and you will be much better off than putting solder on it
