Hi

I have some 2 Inch dia 16 gauge copper tubing

5 Inchs long would it be ok to make a spirit fired boiler

from this or is the dia too big to get enough heat

Also I have some 2 1/2 dia brass if I turned it down and made a shoulder could this be used for the end caps ok.

sorry to ask so many questions

But would soft solder be ok or is silver solder the way to go

Thank You

Best Wishes Martin
