Lanny have you seen capacitive discharge stud welding? This would
allow welding of dissimilar metals to the pot in any pattern. I have
no idea of costs.

Have you done heat transfer tests with your 4mm aluminium pot compared
with the thinner stainless one? Stainless is a notoriously poor
conductor of heat and theoretically would need to be just under a
tenth of the thickness of aluminium for the same conductivity, but I
do use stainless pots at home.

Finally can you explain the difference between a vat and a pot?

Paul I do consider this to be important because biomass stoves have an
inherent problem with heat transfer compared with natural gas or LPG
so improvements in heat exchange will have high benefits.
