Default Brazing stainless steel - what's easiest?

Would it not be easier to just get another bracket of some sort. Those
brazed joints fall to bits, I had a speaker stand made of brazed SS and
that fell to bits indoors!


Properly brazed SS doesn’t.

I need to mend a small piece of stainless steel, it's essentially a
small length of tube (125mm dia or so) with a flange that needs to be
re-affixed to a then plate. The original welds (not mine!) were
absolute rubbish and have come apart.

I don't have TIG (only MIG and stick) so I think brazing is probably
the best option. I have a gas torch which can get it hot enough, so
what's the best sort of brazing material to use?

The stainless is probably one or two mm thick and the joint needs to
be reasonably strong as it's holding chimney cowl to a chimney.
