A 304 or 305 type stainless is just fine for exhaust on a
small NA diesel engine. Silver solder works fine, and melts
at a temperature around braze material (a little lower, if
my memory is correct). The problem with silver solder vs.
TIG welding is that for silver solder, the fitting must be
precise.
I tend to use silver solder for starter motor brushes (higher temp),
and fixing kitchen utencils.
I checked out the Burns site, and left them an email.
