I have often thought that 1" copper pipes w/end caps would be an easy way to add some poor-man's flues to a pan. It even seemed like you could cut some slots in the top end of the pipes and bend them out flat (horizontal) to create tabs that you could solder to the pan.
It would only work on pans small enough to flip over to drain
