When soldering copper to stainless, use good liquid flux and a very low flame. Tin each side first.

Have fun!
DO THESE TUBES DROP DOWN ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PAN TOWARDS THE FIRE/SMOKE CHAMBER? IF SO IS THERE ANY SPECIAL SOLDER THAT YOU NEED TO ACCOMEDATE THE HEAT?? THANKS I TOO HAVE A FLAT PAN AND WAS THINKING OF INCREASING MY EVAP RATE, THIS SEAMS ALOT EASIER THEN ALLTERNATIVE, CUTTING SLOTS FOR FLUES AND DROPPING THEM IN..
