I went to great pains to eliminate all ferite type metals from my coil
construction.
the nearest piece of iron based metal may or may not be in the vacum motor I
used for suction on the single gap spark gap. If there is no ferite in this
component located 2-3 feet below the primary decking then
the next iron based piece of  metal
would be the NST cases about 4-6 feet from the primary decking.

Is it possible to use a Stainless steel topload
without producing a hazardous EM field on top of your coil?
hazardous to the EM field your intentionaly creating with the primary
secondary
