Speaking of brazing, if you didn't care about having the top of the Maze3 removable, brazing would be a great way to put on a copper top (hehe, on topic again)

Regarding the themal conductivity, What about silvercore solder; I believe that is silver based. I've worked with both kinds of torching (brazing and soldering) and brazing is more difficult and requires alot more heat. Are you pretty sure regular soldering of copper to copper wouldn't be durable enough? Solder seems like it would be strong enough in this application.
Maybe if they prepared their mating surfaces well. Just curious
