I would only consider two ways of making superheaters.
Or rather, getting one.
The first is a stainless steel one, and they should really be TIG welded,
which precludes the majority of us making them.
Now, someone used to do a superb range, at reasonable prices.
If only I could recall who it was.!
Otherwise, copper with straight tubes ending in a "speapoint", a la LBSC /
Martin Evans, et al.
I dont think it is possible to get a sharp enough bend for that job.
As for the "wet v dry" steam, I dont see any worry, provided that you have a
reasonable working lubricator.
